SAMUEL FISKE.

Those who were students in the
Seminary at Andover in the years
1851 and 1852, need no reminder of
Samuel Fiske. Little more than a boy
in appearance, and as ingenuous as a
child; rapid in thought, and wonder-
fully ready and easy in ex^jression;
endowed with remarkable conversation-
al powers ; warm-hearted, and always
overflowing with genuine humor, which
could draw something mirthful out of
the dry est themes, and yet was never
rude, indelicate, or unkind. That was
the first impression upon a classmate.
But it took no long time to see the
briUiant qualities of his mind, or his
rare scholarship; nor to discern that
genuine Christian experience, as sim-
ple as a child's, controlled his entire
character, and that all his efforts for
good seemed spontaneous.

IN'ominally connected with the class
which entered in 1849, he was absent
that year, and actually became a mem-
ber of the next succeeding, with which
he remained two years, a universal fa-
vorite. "We wondered, when he left to
become a tutor in college, how his irre-
pressible humor would suit the teach-
er's chair ; and when he was ordained a
pastor, whether a staid jieople would
appreciate the solid qualities underly-
ing his mirthful and inexhaustible ver-
satiUty. But when he entered the
1

army, all knew that there was a power
in him which would insure success.

The two volumes ' of letters before
us, recall most vividly his peculiar
characteristics. Inevitably clothing
his descriptions of scenery and incident
in foreign lands, or of army life in Vir-
ginia, with a wit and humor which has
few, if any equals, yet there is often
as graphic description and just esti-
mate of places or events as any writer
can furnish. His letters from the army,
especially, while never aiming at con-
nected recital, are fascinating pictiu'es
of scenes, and truthful illustrations of
feelings, which no correspondent has
surpassed. They are, too, the exact
portraiture of the man, — a genuine
man, of wonderful fancy, cultured
mind, true Christian experience, and
faithful unto death.

From the second of the works men-
tioned,— his army letters carefully gath-
ered and now handsomely reproduced,
— we propose to make some extracts,
drawing also from the beautiful and
ai^preciative sketch by Professor W. S.

Samuel Fiske.

[Jan.

Tyler, of Amherst College, the facts of
his life.

Samuel Fiske was born in Shelburne,
Mass., July 23, 1828; son of David and
Laura Severence Fiske, — the father a
deacon in the church, — both of whom
are still living. "Their intelUgence
and moral worth," says Professor Ty-
ler, " their exemplary piety, their mod-
erate circumstances, their efforts and
sacrifices to educate their children, are
knoMTi." Of Samuel's childhood, —

" I can readily believe that he was then the
same bright, lively, restless, funny, loving, and
beloved little sprite as in after years, — the
light of the homestead, the life of the school,
the head of all his classes, and the leader in
every enterprise."

" Entering Amherst College in the autumn of
1844, as, I believe, the youngest, and, as I
know, the smallest, and, as his classmates will
all agree, the brightest and smartest of his
class, he took at once high rank as a scholar.
Perhaps his forte was in mathematics; but he
excelled also in the classics and all the depart-
ments. Easy to learn, he required less time
than perhaps any of his classmates to master
his lessons. Indeed, quick as a lightning-flash,
he seemed to see things by intuition. Never-
theless, he was a model of industry and econo-
my both in time and money. And well he
might be; for his time was loorih saving, and
his money was all transmuted into durable
riches, while many students, without half of
his wit or any of his wisdom, rely on their
mother wit as superseding the necessity of ex-
ertion, and many a man, without a tithe of his
genius, pleads his genius as an excuse for ex-
travagance, and all the vices of which extrava-
gance is the fruitful mother. Dependent chief-
ly on his own earnings for his education, he
worked in a bindery by day, and studied by

night I remember just where he sat

and just how he looked when he was a Junior
under my own instruction. In my mind's eye
I see him now, curled up in the comer of his
seat, scarcely occupying more room than a
kitten, playful as a kitten too, still the boy, and
yet in promise the coming man of the class, his
eye flashing with interest, his face beaming
with intellectual life and joy, and his whole
body vibrating and throbbing in spontaneous
sympathy with his active mind, — the living
impersonation of Dr. Bushnell's doctrine of
' Play ; ' for with him icork was play, study a
pleasure, duty his delight, as it doubtless will

be in heaven. He graduated in 1848, with the
second appointment, — he would doubtless
have had the first but for the necessity of
working so much with his own hands, — and
at Commencement he delivered a salutatory
oration, as full of fun as the grave and stately

' Lingua Latina ' could carry

" It was during the winter term of his sopho-
more year that he became personally interested
in the salvation by Christ and began his relig-
ious life; and in the summer term of the same
year, on one of those sacred festivals, — Pente-
costs they have sometimes seemed, — so many
of which have gladdened the eyes and hearts
of the officers and students of Amherst college,
he stood up with a large number of the leading
scholars of his own and other classes, and in
the presence of a great congregation of young
men, consecrated himself to the supreme love
and service of the Triune God, — the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Ghost, — whose name
and seal had been placed upon him in early in-
fancy in the ordinance of baptism."

After graduation he was engaged for
two years in teaching at South Hadley,
Mass., in New Jersey, and at Shelburne
Falls, and in 1850 he entered the sem-
inary at Andover, where he remained
two years.

Many of his sallies are remembered,
as well as his drawing food for mirth
even from the Hebrew grammar. One
recollection must suffice. At an exam-
ination of the class by the professor in
theology, being questioned upon some
topic, he omitted one point, to which
the professor called his attention. He
remembered, he said, that was treated,
but had forgotten how. " "Well, sir,"
said the professor, in his pecuUar and
genial way, " suppose you were on a
western steamboat, and sorhebody
should ask you about that point, how
would it do for you to answer, that

Professor said something about

it, but you did not really know
what? " " Ah," replied he, " nobody
will ever catch me on a western steam-
boat without notes of Professor 's

lectures under my arm ! " The imag-
inary scene was altogether too much
for the gravity of the professor and the
class.

1866.]

Samuel Fiskc

In 1852, he returned to Amherst,
"where he spent the next three years as
tutor.

" Still a mere freshman in apparent age and
size, and mistaken for such when he first came
upon the college-grounds, some of the fathers of
the freshman-class were disposed to patronize
the young man, and more fatherly sophomores
undertook to give him good advice touching his
duty to his superiors. He enjoyed the mistake
too well to correct it; and his amusement was
only equalled by their surprise when they dis-
covered their error by finding him in the tutor's
chair, and themselves sitting under his instruc-
tion. About the same time a clergyman, labor-
ing under the same mistake, asked him if he
proposed to enter college. He replied that he
had about made up his mind to take a shorter
course into the ministry. The clergyman pro-
ceeded to argue the point, insisting on the su-
perior value of a college education, when the
tutor enlightened him by saying, ' Perhaps you
do not understand my reasons for not entering
college; it is because I have already been
through, and know all about it by experi-
ence.'

" It was during his tutorship in Amherst Col-
lege that he was licensed by the Franklin As-
sociation, and began to preach the gospel. His
sermons were full of thought, full of illustra-
tion, suggestive and impulsive to a rare degree.
They were also inwardly charged, nigh unto
bursting, with wit and humor. He could not
always keep his wit and genius out of his
prayers. His prayers were not like any other
man's prayers; his sermons were not like any
other person's sermons. He was a manifest
and marked original. At the same time it was
his sincere desire and constant study to be use-
ful in the pulpit. He was more than an enter-
taining, he was an instructive and impressive,
preacher. Preaching as he did in very many
of the pulpits of this section, and still retaining
his youthful appearance and small stature, he
became widely known as the boy-minister of
Hampshire and FrankUn counties."

Wanting to see more of the world,
he set sail, in 1855, for Europe and the
East, and spent a year, partly in study-
ing the French and German languages,
but chiefly in traveling over the covm-
tries on and near the Mediterranean.
It was in chronicling the incidents of
this tour that he furnished the letters
to the " Springfield Eepublican," which
made him known as one of the raciest

and wittiest of correspondents. The
very name he adopted, " Dunn
Browne," hints at his humor. In
the last letter of that book he explains
to the honest reader as follows : —

" It may be well to remark, in explanation
that Browne is not the real family name of the
author. He was- originally Greene, and in his
early years was remarkable for a certain in-
genuousness and simplicity of character, which
was perhaps the occasion of his being subjected
to so much of that peculiar experience, which
teaches the subject of it some rather rough,
but possibly salutary, lessons, scorches as it
were his verdancy into a sober russet hue, in
consequence of which experience the writer
has, in the lapse of years (without once apply-
ing to the legislature for a change), gradually
come to be called Browne. In short, if he had
not been born Greene, very likely he would
never have been Dunn Browne."

Although particularly interested in
the Experiences in the Army, we are
tempted to make some extracts from
the first volume. He describes his
sensations upon landing in England,
thus : —

" An English inn of the good, old-fashioned
sort, is just the most comfortable place in the
world next to your own home. Small, quiet,
clean, with good beds, the most admirable
cookery, and best of servants, giving you just
what you ask for and at any hour of day
or night; a man who would grumble under
such circumstances ought to attend his own
funeral as soon as possible, and leave this beau-
tiful world to more reasonable people. Early
Monday morning, after enjoying a nice ' mut-
ton chop,' (I never understood the full mean-
ing of that tender, juicj', delicious word till
our bright, tidy, black-eyed, and rosy-cheeked
Susan, with her coquettish muslin cap and her
meiTy laugh, having spread the table for four
in our own little parlor, brought them in all
smoking hot, with the proper accompaniments),
I sallied out for a stroll, taking an umbrella, for
though the morning was bright and fair, yet I
knew by the accounts of travelers that it
always rains in England before night, and was
determined to show the weather that I wasn't
to be taken in by appearances.

" Everything about an Enghsh town is strange
to a Yankee ; the buildings all of solid stone,
and gable end to the street; the tiled and
thatched roofs ; the immense walls about the
gentlemen's residences (so that you might call

Samuel Fiske.

[Jan.,

an Englishman's house not only ' his castle,'
but almost his prison ) ; the narrow and crooked
streets; and above all the infinite variety of
vehicles you see therein, of the most fantastic
shapes, and generally four times as strong
and heavy as they need be. Then there are
the multitudes of donkeys, in carts and in car-
riages, with huge panniers and pack-saddles,
driven by little ragged urchins, ridden by big
men and women, and unmercifully beaten with
sticks.

" But I was too much intoxicated with the
freedom of the land, after being shut up so long
in a ship, to confine myself to the streets or
roads even, but quickly branched off into the
fields, wandering over hill and dale without
any regard to direction or distance, unmindful
of hedges, walls, gates, and boards full of warn-
ings to trespassers; picked the cunning little
flowers under my feet, patted all the donkeys
(four-legged ones) I met; one of whom un-
gratefully kicked me in return (I patted him
considerably harder next time); chased the
sheep (who were so fat and tame they wouldn't
make much sport); plunged by and by into a
village school among a hundred of the noisiest
little rogues I ever saw ; scrambled a hundred
j'ards down some steep cliffs and took a sea
bath ; took a bath of another sort before I got
up again; straying a while longer, found a
little one-story village, and went into a funny,
black, smoky ale-house, made of stones, brick,
and mud, with thatched roof sixty years old
they told me (the house may have been, for
ought I know, six hundred); purchased of a
smiling woman, as little, old, and queer as the
house itself, four-pen'orth of bread and cheese
and a mug of ale ; found that I was five miles
from Torquay, that one of my feet was blis-
tered, and that, after all, an ocean voyage isn't
the best preparative for a long walk in the
country, so far as legs are concerned."

Dunn Browne's observations on
" French talking and talking French "
are well worth copying : —

" Most people have a particular set of organs
to be used in talking, called vocal organs ; but
a Frenchman's organs are all vocal. He talks
with every member and muscle of his body
and every article of dress he wears. I don't
think a parcel of Parisians in strait waist-
coats could understand each other. A shrug of
his shoulders is a whole sentence. A wave of
the hand dispenses flowers of rhetoric. He
emphasizes with his elbows and punctuates
with his fingers. A flourish of his coat-tail is
a figure of speech. He shakes metaphors
from the foldsof a pocket hand kerchief, and, at

a pinch, even his snuff-box serves to round a
period. You ought to have seen the eloquence
of one old lady's petticoat, the other day, as
she was enlarging upon the advantages of an
apartment, for the rent of which your humble

servant was negotiating Whatever

remarks I have had occasion to make, how-
ever, have been readily understood, while
of the gibberish addressed to me in return,
I could hardly make out two words in a
sentence ; which shows very plainly who
speaks the best French. Indeed, it must
be acknowledged by the greatest admirer of
Paris, that very few indeed of her inhabitants
speak French with that purity and correctness
of pronunciation which are imparted in most
of our American schools and colleges. I find,
however, that they are improving every day, as
I can understand them much better now than
a week since, when I first arrived."

At the Exhibition in Paris his feel-
ings are " too much for him," and he
talks thus : —

" I didn't mind seeing a very lightly clothed
Delilah caressing a great, silly, naked Sampson
to sleep on her lap, because the probabilities do
not greatly oppose such a view of the case, nor
disturb myself very greatly at seeing a polite,
naked old gentlem;xn of a dark brown color
(the servant of Abraham) oflfering necklaces
and bracelets to a half-naked damsel of a few
shades lighter complexion, whom I took to be
Eebecca, for it was a warm day and they were
under the shade of some trees, and the artists
must have some license. But when the very
next picture that met my eye was poor Ruth
out in the hot sun, gleaning among the rough
wheat-sheaves, with nothing on but the above-
mentioned nondescript garment, and insanely
hugging an armful of bearded grain against her
tender breast, it really seemed to me that as
the cj^se is now out of Boaz' reach, somebody
ought to interfere, and I have accordingly
spoken out. Mr. Artist, I appeal to you, would
it not have been better, by a few strokes of
your brush, to have extended that garment up
to her shoulders, or at the very least, to have
covered the poor creature's head with a
broad-brimmed palm-leaf hat, as a matter of
mere humanity, to avoid harrowing people's
feelings with the sight of so much apparent
suffering? "

" I have seen [at Dresden] Raphael's famous
' Madonna di San Sisto,' and, unlike most fa-
mous and celebrated things, it surpasses all
one's expectations. The face of the Virgin is
the most lovely, pure, and holy countenance I
ever gazed upon, or ever dreamed of, or ever

pictured to my fancy. It is a perfect ideal of
female beauty and heavenly virtue. And it is
praise enough to say of the other figures of the
picture, that they are worthy of a place beside
that loveliest creation of earthly artist. The
sweetness and innocence of the Divine Child,
and in the lower part of the painting the noble
features of the pious old man (San Sisto), in
contrast with the A'outhful countenance of Santa
Barbara, both upturned in rapt adoration, as
also the two lovely cherubs who look admir-
ingly up from beneath, are all in harmony, and
form one simple, united whole, which produces
an effect all gentle and soothing, elevating, de-
votional."

Of his experiences in Palestine and
the Crimea, especially a description
of Sebastopol, after the siege, we re-
luctantly forbear extracts.

The clearness of his conceptiohs is
well illustrated in his description of
the English University towns, in which
he says: —

" The dinner is the great center about which
an Enghshman's thoughts and plans all re-
volve, and when he founds a college, the first
thing to be attended to, is to provide a magnifi-
cent dining saloon for its inmates; the next, a
beautiful chapel, and if there happen to be any
funds left, why, the libraries and professor-
ships, and such minor matters may come in for
the crumbs, so to speak, that fall from the din-
ner-table."

And thus: —

" These Scotch are a very nice people, both
sensible and good-natured, who make you feel
at home among them, just as the English, un-
less you have a hatful of introductions, make
you feel that you are not at home, and several
other nations I could name make you wish you
weie at home."

And thus: —

" Our return was by steamer to Holyhead,
thence by rail across the wonderful tubular
bridge to Bangor, then an excursion to Caenav-
ron Castle and Snowdon, then a Sabbath
spent in sleepy old Chester, hearing a sleepy
old bishop preach in the sleepy old cathedral.
It is astonishing what an amount of dull preach-
ing'oi»e hears in England. Ideas are as care-
fully excluded from the pulpit as if they were
bomb-shells with the fuse lighted and liable to
explode at once. There is more life and energy
and thought and nourishment in the poorest

sermon I ever heard in a New England pulpit
than in the best I heard (with two exceptions
in London) during a constant attendance of
three months in England. An Englishman
doesn't like to be startled into any thought
whOe sitting on the soft pew-cushions of his
old parish church."

On the 3d of June, 1857, Mr. Fiske
was ordained pastor of the Congrega-
tional Church in Madison, Ct.

In the course of his examination for
ordination occurred an incident char-
acteristic of the man. Says Professor
Tyler:-

" An incident occuiTed at his examination
for ordination, which is so characteristic that it
may well be preserved as a kind of miniature-
likeness of the man and the minister. One of
those ' minute ' theologians, sticklers for the
straitest school of Orthodoxy, who are to be
found in every ecclesiastical council, insisted,
with not a little vehemence, on a definite an-
swer to the test-question, whether, in the case
of the man who had the withered hand, it was
the man that healed himself, or whether it was
the Lord that healed him. ' Well,' replied the
candidate, ' I always supposed that the man
had a hand in it.' "

Of his pastoral work: —

" The same tact and versatility are said
to have marked aU his intercourse with his
people. He was a match for any of them
anywhere; he was at home with all of them
everywhere. He could hold a plough or
drive a team, if need be, equal to any farmer
in the parish. He knew how work ought to be
done, and how business ought to be transacted,
as well as any mechanic or merchant or banker;
and he made all this knowledge available in
the most unpretending way in his preaching
and pastoral visits. If necessar}', he could be
about on his own gi-ounds and among his peo-
ple nearly all the week, and when the Sabbath
came, like Dr. Lyman Beecher, astonish every-
body with the power and richness of his ser-
mons, made rich and powerful, in part, by this
very means. But, when the providence or
the Spirit of God seemed to call for special and
earnest labors, he would plead with his people
in the pulpit and from house to house, day and
night, with th^ eloquence of an angel from
heaven; nay, as an ambassador of Christ, in
ChrisVs stead, and with the sympathizing and
beseeching tenderness of Christ, he would pray
them to be reconciled to God. And not a few,
won by these entreaties and by the winning

words and ways of his daily religious life, ac-
companied by the power of the Holy Spirit,
came out from the world, and, from one com-
munion to another, joined themselves to the
people of the Lord. "

While McClellan was bringing his
shattered army up the Potomac, and
Pope was trying lines of retreat to the
defences in front of Washington, and
the 14th Connecticut was completing
its organization, Mr. Fiske had been
hesitating whether to leave the pulpit
for military service ; but when that call
for three hundred thousand came, he
hesitated no longer. He entered the
service as a private, but speedily be-
came second lieutenant, first lieuten-
ant, and captain. Although once
urged, so high was the estimation of
his Christian character among those
who knew him, — the members of his
own regiment, — to accept the ]30sition
of its chaplain, he declined. He did this
on account of the men of his own com-
pany, who had enlisted partly for his
sake. He was in the battle of Antie-
tam, before the deadly heights of
Fredericksburg, and atChancellorsville,
where, while on the staff of Gen. Car-
roll, he was taken prisoner and carried
to Richmond, on which occasion he
was reported dead. He served with
honor through the campaign of the
summer of 1863, including Gettysburg
and on the Rapidan.

While in service he resumed the cor-
respondence of " Dunn Browne " with
the " Springfield RepubUcan." His let-
ters are marked with the same charac-
teristics as the former series. In select-
ing extracts we are perplexed where
to begin or end, — lively, clear, easy,
warm-hearted, they are all fascinat-
ing. He entered into the spirit of a
soldier's life without losing the sym-
pathies of a man or the ^simplicity of
a Christian.

His first letter, dated Sept. 1, 1862,
says: —

" The first observation every man would

make, judging from my brief experience, is
that a soldier's life is an eminently dirty one.
Our boys, on the way to the field, slept on -the
dirty decks of a steamer, lying together as
thick as rows of pins on a paper; were packed
in dirty, close cars, like sheep in a pen, and
marched through dust so thick and fine, that,
mixed in proper proportion with the perspira-
tion caused by the intense heat, it formed a
good plaster cast of every man's face and form.
Water is often too precious to waste in ablu-
tions. Linen gets dirty, washerwomen are
scarce, clothing of eveiy kind grows ragged,
and, on the whole, dirt steadily and surely pre-
vails, till a regiment of veterans appears to one
uninitiated like a regiment of ragamuffins. Ex-
perience has already shown us, also, that a sol-
dier's is sometimes a pretty hungry and thirsty
life. For three days together, in our first week,
we had nothing to eat but a few hard crackers,
and once a morsel of cheese, and once a slice
of ham apiece served round ; and for one night
and part of a hot day we had no water in camp.

" And again, ours is an amazingly uncertain
life. Two nights ago we were in comfortable
tents, with baggage and knapsacks all around
us ; last night and to-night we are far away from
both, lying on the cold ground in rainy weather,
with nothing between us and the open sky but
a thin rubber-blanket. One night the camp is
all alive with lights, fires, songs, and shouts of
laughter; the next all is silence, fires are out,
men talk almost in whispers, and lie on their
arms, expecting a momentary attack. The sol-
dier knows least of all men what a day may
bring forth. His to-morrow may hold in its
bosom for him starvation or plenty, a thirty-
miles' march or perfect idleness, the din of bat-
tle, the shout of victory, the shame of defeat,
the pain of wounds, or the closihg scene of
death

" Your correspondent personally is getting
hardened famously to camp life. Last week he
ceased to scrape together leaves on which to
lay his blanket for the night. Last night, for
the first time, he didn't take the trouble to pull
out the sticks and stones for his bed of earth;
and henceforth the nearest spot on the bosom
of his mother-earth will be his chosen pillow."

On the day after Antietam he de-
scribes the scenes of the day before.
How little a soMier actually knows in a
line-of-battle four miles long, is well
set forth : —

" The battle itself was a scene of indescrib-
able confusion. Troops did not know what
they were expected to do; and sometimes, in

their excitement, fired at their own men. Gen-
erals were the scarcest fmnginable article,
plentiful as they ai'e generally supposed to be.
We neither saw nor heard anything of our
division commander after starting on our first
charge early in the morning, but went in and
came out here and there, promiscuously, ac-
cording to our own ideas, through the whole
day. The part I saw of the fight was some-
thing like this : The enemy held a very large
cornfield, surrounded on the three sides (on
which we were obliged to attack) by a steep
and difficult ravine. On the north, east, and
south we advanced to the attack ; our batter-
ies playing over our heads. Our regiment
came in from the aorth-east to attack on the
north, being the second line; the first line, a
few rods before us, being composed of a Dela-
ware and one other regiment. As we came
along even with the east line of the rebels, we
also entered a cornfield, and at once were
opened upon by a raking fire of musketry ; and
a good many of our men fell. The north end
of our line pressed on till we came round facing
the enemy on the edge of the ravine; and we
opened fire upon them across the ravine, firing
into the corn which concealed them from our
view. After a few minutes, the troops who
had tried to cross the ravine before us broke,
and came running back upon us, crying
out, some of them, ' Skedaddle, skedaddle ! '
Some of our men tried to stop them, and a few
of them, it must be confessed, joined in their
flight. But in the main, for green troops, I
think we behaved well, — the men firing with
precision and deliberation, though some shut
their eyes and fired up into the air.

" Finally, after a straggling and confused
scene of about an hour's fighting, advancing,
and retreating, carrying off the wounded, and
cheering each other on, some of our own troops
came up between us and the enemy on the op-
posite side of the ravine, so that it was danger-
ous for us to fire any longer; and we retired,
and attempted to advance on another side, but
could get no place, and so drew off", and sup-
ported a battery two or three hours, till all its
horses and ammunition were shot away; we
exposed all the while to a fire of grape and
canister. And finally, toward evening, the
enemy being driven from all their positions,
we were picked up by a stray general, and or-
dered to hold an advanced position across a
ploughed field, where we were within reach of
the enemy's skirmishers, who have been prac-
tising on us ever since ; in which dirty and un-
comfortable place I must bid you good-by for
the present."

Ilis allusions to foraging are per-
fect:—

" Did you ever see a brigadier- general riding
along on his splendid charger, with a string of
sweet-corn ears hanging on his left arm and
onion-tops peeping out of his saddle-bags? I
did yesterday, and observed his look of triumph
in the possession of the aforesaid articles, —
greater than if he had gained a battle. And I
saw a colonel chuckling over a plate of peaches,
which he had in some way captured for his
mess-table ; and a major spurring joyfully into
camp with a couple of live chickens tied to his
saddle-bows. I also can speak from e.sperience
of the rapture of a starved and generally-used-
up lieutenant over the possession of a loaf of
real bread, — the first that had made his heart
glad for weeks. I tell you, dear ' Republican,'
you haven't any idea of the blessing of a de-
cent meal of victuals. You don't know the
treasure you possess in a boiled potato, burst-
ing its tight jacket, and revealing its hidden
mealiness, as it comes smoking upon your din-
ner-table. Such a sight would bring tears to
the eyes of thousands, now crunching their
hard crackers and drinking their decoction of
beans, which Uncle Sam passes off" upop us as
coflfee, upon these barren hills. As for myself,
I should faint at the very smell of a delicate
chicken- broth or a barley-soup; and at the
thought of a bowl of bread and milk, — ah,
dear me ! it is too much. I must change the
subject."

" Sunday in Camp " is a scene rej^ro-
cluced in many a place. Dear recollec-
tions cluster about those days never to
be forgotten: • —

" Who dare say that there is no Sabbath day
to the soldier, no worship of God in the camp?
Let him come and see a regiment of eager men
gathered together under the rays of a burning
sun at noonday, after a week's hard marching
and drilling, to hear the word of God preached,
and join in prayer and praise; standing up, too,
through a service of nearly an hour. Tell him
how generally the regiment came together for
service in that splendid white-oak gi-ove near
Sharpsburg, on the Sabbath after the battle.
Show him the earnest groups that assemble for
social prayer, two or three times a week, at
any chance resting-place, in anj' spare hour
that can be so imp-oved. Ay, soldiers' prayers
are short, and often interrupted ; but the Lord
has a place for them, an ear to listen to them, a
strong right hand to work in answering them.

ment arc a lenveu of good, working in the
whole lump, shirking no soldierly duty, and to
be depended upon in any emergency < and
many of om." boys that have been called wild
and reckless at home show that the associations
of the holy Sabbath and the influences of God's
word have a deep hold upon their hearts."

" Soldier's Luggage " is a chapter of
tiniversal experience : —

" As old a campaigner as your humble servant
happens to be, though he has travelled over a
good part of the world with no other luggage
than a small carpet-bag, is compelled with
shame to acknowledge himself in the present
instance to have acted as foolishly, in respect
of baggage, as the greenest young lieutenant
who has just donned his brilliant uniform with
its shining buttons, and entangled his legs with
the awkward sword. Your correspondent, hav-
ing dropped the peaceful toga from off his
shoulders, and sprung to arras in his country's
defense, went into this military toggery and
outfitting business utterly regardless of expense,
and filled up a trunk, right up to the eighty
pounds or twelve cubic feet allowed by Uncle
Sam'% array-regulations. That same costly
trunk, stored with magnificent apparel, where-
in your humble correspondent expected to ap-
pear in due time before his regiment, like Sol-
omon arrayed in all his glory when he came
out at the head of the Jewish militia, came
into his possession about one week after he left
the good old State of Connecticut, and remained
within his reach precisely five days ; at the ex-
piration of which time, he received, with his
regiment, orders to march without baggage or
knapsacks ; and so shut down the cover, and
buckled up the straps with a sigh of regret,
and — has never seen it more from that day to
this ; and, what is worse, has many doubts as
to whether it ever will bless his eyes again. In
case he should ever have it in his power once
more (which will only be by his getting it ex-
pressed on from Washington at an exorbitant
price, as private freight), his first measure will
be to drag out of its depths that same little,
despised carpet-bag before alluded to, put in
it a clean shirt, a Bible, and a tooth-brush, to
take with him; and his next measure, to send
by express the three-feet-by-two evidence of
his dotage back to Mrs. D. B,. in dear old New
England. For learn, oh yon'foolish generation
of military novices ! that, when Uncle Sam says
you are entitled to so much transportation, he
means that you are welcome to it if you can
get it; that he will gladly forward the forty
trunks, more or less, of the officers of a regi-

ment, provided they can conveniently be car-
ried in the three or five wagons allowed, to-
gether with the companv chests, the stores of
various kinds that must go, etc. Moreover, the
wagons are always many miles in the rear of
a marching army, and, in case of danger from
the enemy, do not come up often for days, and
even it may be for weeks, together.'*

"Cooking in Camp," "Thanksgiv-y
ing in Camp," are perfect; so is his sad'
account of Fredericksburg, where only
a hundred men of his regiment came
back tit for duty. "We reluctantly pass
them by. But " Studies in Architec-
ture " appeals to memory too strongly :

STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE.

" Now, as doubtless you wish ' Mrs. Repub-
lican,' and the little 'Republicans,' to be
housed in the most appropriate and tasteful
way, and cheapest withal (the newspaper busi-
ness can't be very profitable, I take it, with the
present high prices of the raw material), really
hadn't you better think of it? Why, I have a
house myself I would like to show you, with a
brown mud front, water in every part of it, at
this present writing, and all the modern (army)
improvements, including a real door on hinges,
with a latch to it ; a chimney that never smokes
(unless the wind is very strong from the north-
east) ; fireplace warranted stone-backed, and
garnished with actual crane-hooks ; our patent
army transparent water-proof roofing ; and
every thing about the whole building so con-
venient, that I may say I can put my hand
upon it, sitting here by the fire, as I am, with
my feet ui>on the mantel (not marble; that
proves too cold for comfort), in true Yankee
style. The parlor, sitting-room, dining-room,
and library are so arranged as to be easily
thrown together into one apartment. The sleep-
ing-rooms are well ventilated; and, to be brief,
the whole forms a snug tenement for a family
of suitable size, such as is rarely to be found,
and I might add, if you wont charge this as an
advertisement, could be rented on easy terms,
with a limited amount of furniture, as the own-
er is thinking of moving to Richmond.

" There is a good deal of variety in the style
of army architecture. My own building is a
severe classic, without ornament, rather low
and heavy, inclining to the Doric, or perhaps
even to the Egyptian order. But we have speci-
mens of the airiest, most fantastic Gothics, of
the tasteful Corinthian capitals, of fluted Ionic
columns, of Moorish arches and Arabesque

ornaments, of the Chinese pagoda roofing, of
the ' a la catacomb ' excavations. One of my
neighbor's is nearly on the model, on a some-
what smaller scale, to be sure, of the Athenian
Parthenon; yet I presume the idea of imitating
the proportions of that ancient structure never
entered his mind. Some model after a heathen
temple, some after a Yankee wood-shed, some
after an Indian wigwam, and some after a
woodchuck's hole. But the Hottentot style of
architecture, on the whole, it must be confessed,
prevails over every other; and for every kind
of structure that can rise out of Mother Earth,
that can be created from Virginia mud, with
some ribs and framework of logs, let me com-
mend you to this whole region round about. I
couldn't do full justice to the subject, however,
in a dozen letters ; so I may as well stop in one
place as another."

His letter from " Chancellorsville
Battle Field, May 2, 1863," shows his
habit of writing everywhere : —

" Chancellorsvulb Battle-Field,
May 2, 1863.

" This has been a most beautiful night ; bright
moonlight. We slept vpry little, lying upon
our arms all night; our brigade in line of battle,
and expecting to go into action at any moment,
from about noon to midnight. We were not
called in, however. The action yesterday was
veiy severe, but indecisive ; we were advancing
quite rapidly in the rooming, and, I suspect,
without much thought of the enemy's making
a stand, when they opened on us ; and some of
our troops thrown out as skirmishers did not
behave very well. They drove back one or
two of our divisions for a time, and, at one
o'clock, things looked uncomfortable ; but fresh
troops went up on the double-quick, and we
drove them back with heavy loss on both sides.
We don't know much how things lie this morn-
ing, but hope that we shall gain a great victory
to-day. We rose at three o'clock, fed and sad-
dled our horses, had some coffee and hard-bread,
and have been waiting for orders to march ever
since. It is now about seven o'clock. The
night was so cold, I could not sleep. The day
was very hot, the night very cold. We lay on
some fence pickets laid on the ground. The
eastern sky at sunrise was red like blood. The
sun is just at this moment breaking out; but,
on the whole, the prospect is for rain before
night. Moreover, yesterday was quite fine;
and such a thing as two fine daj's in succession
would be indeed an absurd thing to expect in
this region.

" ' They say ' that we have a line of battle

in half-moon shape, convex towards the enemy,
and a splendid position; and that the bridges
in the rear of the enemy are destroyed, so that
they can't retreat without immense loss, and
so must now fight decisively. Our army is in
grand spirits. Gen. Hooker is riding along the
lines, and the men are cheering him madly.

" Gen. Stonewall Jackson charged down
upon our front this morning (they say) in deep,
heavy columns along the plank-road; our bat-
teries opened on him, big and little guns, and
ploughed him through and through, so that his
troops retreated a mile and a half in double-
quick time.

" Eleven, a. m. — Nothing done yet in the
way of fighting since seven o'clock. The day
is pleasant: we have marched out a mile to a
new position in the line of battle, thi-own out
skirmishers, and are now digging a sort of rifle-
pit to protect a weak spot in our line.

" Three, p. m. — Still nothing done ! The
cannon are roaring around us, but not miich
musketry save skirmishing. We are in an open
field of perhaps a hundred acres, lying with
stacked arms, waiting an attempt of the enemy
to flank us on the left. It would seem, how-
ever, that he has abandoned the attempt, or
some cliange of strategy is adopted ; for we lie
perfectly idle. Our long line of rifle-pits, three
feet wide and two and a half deep, is completed
the whole length of one side of the field, the
dirt thrown up so as to make a four or five feet
barrier. Verj' likely we may have no use for
it, however.

" Six, p. M. — Hard fighting again, terrific
musketry and cannonade from the enemy ; our
guns ceasing awhile for the twelfth corps to
storm the enemy's hasty intrenchments. Our
boys are moving on nobly, and, we think, have
already carried the works, as the musketry
grows less terrific and more distant. Glorious
old Hooker sits quietly on his horse, and directs
the movements far in the front. Sometimes
the storm of shot and shell, even before this
last charge, during the artillery duel that has
been kept up all day, was so thick around him
that his aides and orderlies could scarcely be
induced to come and take his orders. The army
is full of his praise. We hope for a great and
decisive victory, and only fear that the enemy
will find some way to slip out of our grasp.
Just at this moment, things are perfectly still;
and I hardly think we can have much more
fighting to-night.

" Eight, p. M. — We have met a serious re-
verse. Our eleventh corps, and the twelfth
perhaps, have most shamefully run ; and we
are in danger of a defeat, which the Lord for-
bid ! We shall have a hard time, and nobody

knows who will live through it. I don't know
as I want to, if we are now shamefully de-
feated. Oh! some of our soldiers haven't their
hearts in this thing, and haven't principle
enough, I fear, to be worthy to fight in our no-
ble cause. The rebels are desperate, and in
earnest, by comparison, at least. Still I hope
we shall make a victory of this."

The allusion to the 12th corps above,
and another, on page 145, does a great
injustice ; owing, doubtless, to the fact
that the writer Avas oflf to Libby prison.
The 12th corps' bold change of front,
under Slocum, and its sj)lendid steadi-
ness, saved that disastrous day. Had
Dunn Browne witnessed Best's mag-
nificent use of his artillery, and seen
the 12th corps in line, when Jackson's
impetuous charges were rolled back
that evening like glass shivering on
rock, and its sturdy and immovable
fighting of the next morning, he would
not have recorded that into which
hearsay in the confusion of battle led
him. But history makes that right.

" Close up " is true to life, at least :

" I have recently taken up the following lines
of march and of battle : —

" ' CLOSE UP.'
" Marches the soldier along the rough road,
Fording the river or climbing the hill,
Crossing the meadow, or through the thick wood,
Comes the stern order pressing him still,

' Forward, close up ! '

" Weary his limbs with the terrible marches.
Blistered his feet and throbbing his breast.
Burning the heat that his thirsty throat parches,
On toils the column, denying him rest :

' "Move on, close up I '

" Lingers he a moment to gather a flower.
Fills he his cup at the gurgling spring.
Tempt him the clusters of a grape-twined bower,
Sharp in his ears the chiding words ring,

' To the ranks, close up ! '

" Tears through the ranks the terrible shell.
Sweeps us half down the musketry fire.
Charges the foe with murderous yell,
Through the fierce din swells higher and higher
This cry, ' Close up 1 '

" Steady, boys ! Wavers the foe ! To the charge !
On, the old Flag I Lo, the traitors' red rag 1
Forward ! j'our bayonets ! Double-quick ! march !
Foot of a MAN in such hour cannot lag !

' On, boys, close up ! '

" Falls the young captain, he shouts a last cheer ;

Fall the brave boys on the left, on the right,

Stops not the column, though heroes lie here :

Tenderly stepping o'er the dead in the fight,

The living ' close up.'

" Thinned are our ranks of their bravest and best ;
Homes are in mourning all over our land ;
Sons of the nation, not now can ye rest ;

Come, brothers, come with steel in your hand ;
The war we'll ' close up.'

" ' The end is slightly abrupt,' very likely is
the criticism you offer in reference to the above
effusion; but then, you know, your readers
will wish there was more, as Sam Weller ob-
served to his father in justification of his Valen-
tine, to which the ancient Tony was objecting
that it ' pulled up rather sudden.' "

On the 4tli of May, 1864, he wrote
thus :

" May 4, four, p. M.
" So we did make a move of it, after all.
Hadn't fairly finished cutting down our houses
before the order came to move. Left camp at
ten, p. M., on the anniversary of the battle of
Chancellorsville; marched all night; crossed at
Ely's Ford at nine this morning, and are now
resting on the old field of Chancellorsville."

It was his last letter. On the 6th
of May, the second day of the bloody
battle of the Wilderness, he fell.

Of the circumstances of his fall, Sur-
geon Jewett, of his o'vyn regiment,
says :

" His regiment, the 14th Connecticut, was in
the corps of the gallant Gen. Hancock, and for
several hours had sustained its position in the
line, repulsing one or two furious charges of
the desperate rebel hordes. Capt. Fiske fell at
the head of his company, shot through the col-
lar-bone and top of the right lung. He was as-
sisted to the rear, and rode on horseback to the
hospital of his division, more than a mile dis-
tant. He received immediate surgical attend-
ance ; but aD efforts to extract the ball proved
unavailing. The next day he was placed in an
ambulance, and conveyed to Ely's Ford, on the
Rapidan, on the route to Brandy Station. As
the country was infested by guerillas, the
route was abandoned, and the whole ambulance
train ordered back to Chancellorsville, and
thence to Fredericksburg, making a ride of
forty-eight hours over rough roads. At the end
of the route, I found him in a state of great ex-
haustion and fatigue, which was the case with
hundreds of other wounded men in the train.
Comfortable quarters were provided for him in
a private house, and everything which could
be done for his comfort or recoveiy was done ;
but, after suffering for sixteen days, he has
died, leaving a large circle of friends to mourn
his loss. His dearest and most intimate friends
were with him, and did much to soothe and
^omfort his last days, and receive his last
blessing and farewell."

Professor Tyler thus describes his last
hours :

" When a surgical examination had removed
the last ground of hope for his recovery, and a
chill came over him which he took for the
last, he said, ' Now death can't be far off"; ' but
presently he added, ' Heaven is a better coun-
try than this.' Then, turning to his brother,
he inquired, ' Asa, do you think heaven comes
right off", — that is, immediately after death?
Well, I shall be there, and know all about it,
pretty soon.' Then followed messages of love
to absent friends, tender words to those by his
side, particular charges touching his ' darling '
children, and thoughtful instructions about his
affairs, — all as calm and tranquil as if he were
in perfect health. The last night of his life, as
his brother was sitting by his side at midnight,
he seemed to be awake and thinking. Presently
he said, ' I have been running everything over
in my mind to see if I had left anything undone
towards them ; ' meaning his wife and children.
' I can't think of anything I have left.' When
assured that he had remembered everything
and had nothing to do but just to lay himself
in Jesus' arms, and rest, he smiled as if well
pleased ; and when asked, ' You can love and
trust himf'' he said, 'Yes, I can, perfectly.'
They repeated hymns to him, such as ' Jesus,
lover of my soul,' and ' Rock of Ages, cleft for
me;' and he repeated them after them. His
brother happening to pass between him and the
light, he asked, ' Who is that ? ' ' Your brother
Asa: you must not forget him.' Instantly car-
rying the significance of the words forward to
that world whither he was so soon going, he
said, ' Heaven must be a very forgetful place if
I do.' Sabbath morning, the day of his death,
he greeted his sister with the salutation, ' To-
day I shall get my marching orders : well, I am
ready.' His brother asked him how he had
rested. ' Oh, beautifully! ' he answered; 'just
like a sleeping angel.' Then he smiled, and
added, ' But I don't look much like one, do I ? '
Thus cheerfully did he obey his last orders;
thus naturally did he die, just as he hved, just
like himself; thus beautifully did he pass from
the Sabbath on earth to the Sabbath in heaven.
And now he has fought his last fight, and con-
quered the last enemy."

It was on the 22d of May, in the
hospital at Fredericksburg, that he
passed away. His was one more bril- ,
liant name added to the long, sad,
glorious list of patriot martyrs.

The Action of the Council of 1865.

THE ACTION OF THE COUNCIL OF 1865.

AisnD the daily business of a body
such as our Council of 1865, it is difli-
cult to discern clearly the great object
in view. The necessary working ma-
chinery, however simple, is prominent ;
minor or collateral questions are being
discussed ; the shaping of various meas-
ures confines the attention. To have
a comprehensive view of its action, we
must wait until the work has become
comjjleted, and the subordinate parts
group themselves into their natural
relations to the main purpose. Where
church courts or congresses meet from
year to year, a strict unity is not to be
expected. They transact " business."
Our Council met for a specific object;
it was called because the occasion de-
manded it, and not because the usual
time had come round again. Hence it
ought to have worked to a central pur-
pose. We think it did. Looking back,
now, upon it, its proceedings display a
clear and simple unity. We think we
recognize God's hand in this, and we
praise him for the results we exjDect,
and which seem already to begin.

We venture, for historical use, to
group the actions of the Council, in this
light.

The great object of this convocation
was well indicated in the vote of the
" Convention of the Congregational
Churches of the North- West," which
was the first formal suggestion of such
a meeting: for "the Congregational
churches of the United States to in-
quire what is their duty in this vast
and solemn crisis, such as comes only
once in ages; and what new efibrts,
measures, and policies they may owe to
this condition of aflairs, this new gene-
sis of nations."

A preliminary meeting of delegates,
appointed for that sole purpose, issued

the invitation, and also ventured to ask
various joersons to i^rcpare papers on
diflerent subjects relating to the main
liurpose. The invitation to the churches
was accepted, and the Council came
into being.

There was of course a necessary
amount of friction in the organizing;
but it was slight. Considering that
we had no precedents ecclesiastical,
and hardly an approach to such a meet-
ing since 1680, the common sense of
the delegates was the only, but safe,
reliance. Such rules were adopted as
seemed necessary; but none which in-
terfered with entire orderly freedom.
Such officers and such committees were
chosen as were needed, and no more.

In prosecuting, as a denomination,
the great work of evangelizing this
nation, the first thing settled (not in
the order of time, but of nature), was
the doctrinal basis of the denomina-
tion. What are its ministers to teach?
What do its churches hold? What
faith are its messengers to carry to the
people? This question was answered
in the paper adopted at Plymouth.
There had been discussion, free and
full. The paper presented by the pre-
liminary committee had been referred,
and a new draft reported. On all the
phrases in that draft there was not
unanimity, although there was as to its
meaning. A paper which embodied
much of that, but in a new draft, avoid-
ing the language which had excited
differences, proved acceptable, and was
solemnly adopted and again ratified.

This declaration was merely a dec-
laration. It legislated no new faith
into existence; but simjjly stated what
was the permanent and united belief of
the churches. It imposed no tests
whatever. It said only, this is the

faith which we hold, as did our fathers.
Nothing had occurred to modify our
belief in the substantial truth of the
old symbols. This faith was made
prominent. When a paper was under
discussion, which advocated the spread
of our polity, the Council inserted
" faith " also. The faith was more
than polity.

Polity, however, came next. This
was elaborately stated in a document
very carefully and fully drawn up, and
in a much briefer one for convenient
use among our churches. Each of
tliese papers, drawn ixp independently,
had been compared with, and adjusted
to, the other. They were adopted
and placed in the hands of a large
committee for final revision, editing,
and publishing. This declaration of
polity, like that of faith, was no code
of laws. It was merely a statement of
the practice of our churches, held by
them to be scriptural ; and only valu-
able because believed to be scriptural
principles developed by Christian ex-
perience.

Fellowship was an important subject.
Of our own household of faith, breth-
ren came delegated from the British
Provinces, from England and Wales;
and they were cordially received. The
rather distinct ripple caused . by the
previous course of our English breth-
ren as to our national affairs, did not
iiivolve the question of fellowship.
Gfrieved at that course, some tolerably
plain and necessary truth was uttered,
and a calm and elaborate expression
of our regret was adojDted. But fel-
lowship) was unbroken. Of fellowship
with other Christians, the principles
were distinctly stated. While in the
reply to a communication from the
" Massachusetts Convention of Congre-
gational Ministers," it was distinctly
understood that faith, not polity, was
the ground of general fellowship, yet
to all evangelical bodies the hand was
cordially extended. This was clearly
5

set forth in the Statement of Pohty,
and emphaticallj" reaflflrmed at Plym-
outh, pleading for co-operation with
all who held the great truths of Chris-
tian faith, without regard to minor dif-
ferences. It was settled that Congre-
gationalists are not to be a sect ; for
they claim no exclusive privileges.
They recognize every body of believers,
organized as a church, to be a church
of Christ. They havQ no right to re-
fuse fellowship, or a church title, to
any organized church, whatever be its
government, or its rules; for all these
bodies have the essential, whatever
non-essentials they may have added. A
sect is a body which " cuts " itself off
from the body of Christ, which is
the church ; and every body which
cuts off any part of the church of Christ,
only cuts itself off. In the freedom of
Congregationalists, the Council gladly
welcomed salutations from Prance and
Italy, and one Methodist body, and
would gladly have welcomed more. In
the same spirit of co-operation it ap-
pointed delegates to the proposed
'' American Protestant Assembly."

In the various minor matters, it re-
ceived with enthusiasm a visit from the
Governor of Massachusetts, and it ten-
dered its respectful salutations to the
President of the United States. It
honored the memory of the Pilgrims
by services at Plymouth ; and remem-
bered to place a tablet on John Robin-
son's house at Leyden. It honored
the memory of the patriots by services
at Bunker Hill on its memorable anni-
versary. It advocated Temperance, and
appointed its delegates to a Kational
Temperance Convention. It gave its
distinct utterance, with a loyal ring, on
the state of the country, and insisted
on the rights of manhood, as became a
body representing churches which had
unitedly thrown themselves against
slavery, and had given their sons to
the battle. It pronounced as clearly
as ever upon the great work of Foreign

[Jan.,

Missions, as became a people which
originated the American Board. For
its special denominational institutions,
it limited itself to encouraging the
erecting of a Congregational House in
Boston.

To the great and special work before
the churches in our country, most of
the thought was given. That work in-
cluded all those measures necessary to
make eflectual the great purpose of
preaching the gospel.

Assuming the Bible to be the ground-
work both of education and religion, it
found first among the agencies the min-
istry.

The ministry was recognized as a
distinct body of men ordained to that
work, whether in or out of the pastoral
oflflce; but it was declared to be no
hierarchy. The education of the min-
istry was most ably discussed in a pre-
liminary paper, and the needs of the
times fully debated. It was distinctly
avowed that the highest possible cul-
ture is imperatively demanded, — as well
the labor of gifted men whose time or
circumstances would allow only a brief
and practical course of study; and, in
both, a deep and warm piety was held
to be the first essential.

Colleges mid schools, therefore, re-
ceived careful attention, and the neces-
sity of their Hberal endowment shown,
especially in the newer sections of the
country. Pecuniary aid to young men
during their course of study for the
ministry was insisted upon as a duty
of the churches.

Ministerial support, considered in
one of the papers previously prepared,
received attention, and a distinct utter-
ance upon the duty of the churches to
make liberal provision for this object,
had the unanimous approval of the
Council.

Of those aids to ministerial and
other laboi-ers, — reli(jinus hooks and
tracts,— a. careful analysis was had,
and the thorough report upon the sub-

ject was adopted, which not only ad-
vocated a Christian literature, but also
showed the discriminations necessary
as to the publications of various socie-
ties.

The subject of Christian Benevolence
was considered, not only in its princi-
ples, but also and practically as to the
various channels which are open to
the gifts of the churches. The " ma-
chinery " was discussed, and a few
organizations specially mentioned in
the various departments of Christian
eifort. The need of this was evident,
because through these channels the
great work must necessarily be as-
sisted.

Of the fields of home labor, these
spheres received attention. First, pa-
rochial work; in which every church
was to be a missionary body of itself,
and every pastor the superintendent of
it, to carry the gospel to the people,
especially in old districts, who are prac-
tically not now reached. Secondly,
the work of Home Missions, technically
so called, — that of sending ministers to
preach the gospel, explore districts,
and found and build up churches.
This work, which has been so well
conducted by the American Home
Missionary Society, was the subject of
earnest debate, and, with all the light
derived from the experience of minis-
ters and laymen, felt to be safe in the
hands of that society, which was to
have its means greatly augmented.
Thirdly, the work at the South, both
among freedmen and whites. It was
felt that God had laid a great re-
sponsibility upon our churches, to give
a pure gospel to that part of our coun-
try from which our principles as to the
rights of man had hitherto excluded
us. Among the various organizations
offering, it seemed that the American
Missionary Association was entitled to
rank first, and it was adopted as our
special agency.

ckurch-building, was held to be essen-
tial. The array of focts upon the ad-
vantages of assisting feeble congrega-
tions in erecting houses of worship
was ovei'whelming. To ensiu'e perma-
nence of results, it was unitedly felt
that the minister and church must
have a place to dwell in. The only,
and tried organization was the Ameri-
can Congregational Union; and to
that, with commendations of elibrts at
a few important points, it was com-
mitted.

All these things were held to their
true subordination to the evangelizing
of this counti^y. When minor matters
had been considered, and the means
necessary for this work were before
the Coimcil, Prof. Bartlett well ex-
pressed the feelings of every member:
" I feel as though we had now just
reached the great thing for which we
were together. It is a great thing to
declare theoretical princij^les, — to set
forth our faith, our polity; but the
great thing we have to do, after all, is
to go to work and take care of our
land for Christ." And after the ma-
ture deliberations and determinations,
Dr. Todd equally expressed the united
feeling: " We have a great burden laid
upon us. I begin to feel it already,
and I have no doubt that before we
leave this Council, we shall feel that
we go home with such a burden rest-
ing upon us as we have never before,
and can never have again while we live
on God's footstool." This "burden"
was the evangelizing of our country.

So far as men are needed, the Coun-
cil called upon the churches to furnish
them for this great work. So far as
money is wanted, it asked for $ 200,000
for the Union; $ 250,000 for the Amer-
ican Missionary Asssociation; and
$300,000 for the Home Missionary
Society. And, thoroughly imbued
with the need of the Holy Spirit's

work, — a feeling which showed itself
every day, when, at a set hour, all busi-
ness was laid aside for prayer, — it
earnestly besought the churches to
seek God's help; and particularly
named a day for special prayer in all
the churches, to secure God's favor
upon the plans adopted.

The results are with God. The
present cannot declare them. " What
are the results," well said Dr. Todd,
"we can tell fifty years hence, or a
hundred years hence, better than to-
day." But among the promising feat-
ures there, was the hearty unity visi-
ble in the Council: unity in faith which
put to shame predictions from oppos-
ers; unity in polity; unity in the great
plans adopted; and, above all, unity in
the great object before the churches.
Men from the Atlantic and Pacific
shores, alike with men from the center,
found themselves one. Men high in
public station, — governors, senators
high in the church's favor, — and men
faithfully laboring in the retired valley
or on bleak mountains, found " them-
selves equal brethren in the household.
So far as denominational interests are
concerned, doubtless they received a
unity and cohesiveness not before felt.

Por the special work of this age, the
signs are auspicious. Already, the
contributions are coming into the treas-
uries. Men begin to ofler for the spe-
cial work. Churches are awakening
to the needs of the destitute. Promi-
nent centers are being occupied and
garrisoned. Prayer is ascending to
God. Eejoicing in the activity of other
Christian bodies, ours feels its own
duty; but not yet with that burden
which ought to press upon our own..
So far as the great Cause is concerned,
it rests with the praying, working, giv-
ing, men and women of our churches.
Let us hope for great results for the
souls of meji.

SKETCH OF THE NORFOLK ASSOCIATION, IN MASSACHUSETTS.

BY KEV. LUCIUS K. KASTMAN, JR., HOLYOKE, MASS.

The Norfolk Association, though
the largest connected with the General
Association of Massachusetts,' cannot
lay claim to a very great antiquity.
It had its origin in the early part of
tlie present century.

It is well known that when this cen-
tury ojiened, it found evangelical re-
ligion at a low ebb in the vicinity of
Boston. The churches of that region
were originally strictly Puritan both
in faith and practice. They believed
in the plenary inspiration of the Bible,
and received it as their rule of faith
and practice. By common consent
they adhered to the Cambridge Plat-
form agreed upon in 16i8, and the Con-
fession of Faith consented to in 1G80.
Some of the churches had for their
confession of faith a simple declaration
that "•they held to the doctrines of
Scripture as set forth in the Boston
Confession of Faith of 1G8U." The
Assembly's Shorter Catechism was
taught in many Tamilies, churches, and
pubhc schools. This became their " ap-
proved symbol of faith, and bond of
Union, — to teach it to their children,
and select their ministers according to
its spirit; choosing such and such only
for their pa&tors and teachers as they
believed would preach substantially in
accordance with its teachings. But in
process of time a dejjarture took place
from the faith and practice of the
Fathers, — gradually indeed and some-
times covertly, — but really and sub-
Btantially aftecting the character of the
churches and the ministry ; so that, at
the close of the 18th and commence-
ment of the 19th century, it came to
pass that the churches of Boston and
vicinity and of some other parts of
New England were essentially dilfer-

2

ent from what they had been in the
time of the Cottons. They had come
to be churches of a mixed character,
both in faith and practice, and their
pastors, instead of being united in sen-
timent, as formerly, were men of dis-
cordant views." " The consequence
was that men of loose opinions and
doubtful characters, whenever they
chose from any wordly consideration
to make the application, could find a
ready admittance to some acknowl-
edged Congregational church. Hence
persons of all grades of sentiment,
from the highest point of ultra Calvin-
ism to the lowest point of Arminianism,
men who adhered to the Puritan faith
and rigid practice of the Fathers of
New England, and men who scarcely
acknowledged the Christian Sabbath
as a day of holy rest, or prayer as
a Christian duty; men who Ayalked
circumspectly in the midst of a per-
verse generation, and men who mingled
with an unbelieving world in all their
vain amusements and follies; men of
habitual seriousness, who daily sought
the grace of God as their hope of sal-
vation, and men who despised and even
ridiculed this seriousness and reliance
upon the grace of God, — were some-
times found in the same church, meet-
ing together at the same consecrated
table of the Lord. This was the state
of the Congregational churches with
few exceptions at this period through
all the region which embraced the
churches connected with the Boston
Association of Ministers."'

Such a state of things — fraught as
it must have been with many difficul-
ties— could not long: continue without

some disturbance. Churches found it
difficult to settle pastors. Jf ministers
felt it their duty not to lay hands sud-
denly on any man, they were " some-
times not permitted to make the req-
uisite inquiries to satisfy their minds
whether the candidate did or did not
possess the requisite qualifications for
a Christian Bishoi^." E. g. see action
of Norfolk Association at a meeting
in Danvers noticed further on.

A great difficulty was also experi-
enced in reference to exchange of pul-
ints. A conscientious minister must
either use every possible artifice to keep
from exchanging with some members
of his Association, or he must openly
decline, or he must publicly refute,
from the pulpit, sentiments which he
had learned to have been preached by
the brother with whom he had ex-
changed. It was on this point of ex-
changes that the famous controversy
in Dr. Codman's church hinged, and
by which he was prepared to enter
heartily into the new Association.

Matters were coming to a crisis.
About this time the chair of Theology
in Harvard College became vacant.
Nearly two years passed before it was
filled. Dr. Ware was the candidate
of the liberal party. President Jesse
Appletun, and Jedediah Morse, D. D.,
of Charlestown, were among those
mentioned by the evangelical party.
Dr. Ware was elected. " In spite "
says Dr. Jos. S. Clark, '' of all remon-
strance, — a man known to be an anti-
Calvinist, suspected of Arianism, and
soon to be developed a full-formed Uni-
tarian, was put into an office whose in-
cumbent was sole;nnly bound to ' pro-
fess and teach the princiiiles of the
Christian religion according to the
well-known confession of faith drawn
up by the synod of the churches in
New England.' The reckless manner
in which this explicit condition was set
aside, ' gave signi^of woe that all was
] ost.' " Yet it resulted in good, as it

aroused evangelical Christians to their
danger.

During this period, also, the General
Association of Massachusetts was or-
ganized and brought into successful
operation. The Boston Association
had declined to connect itself with the
general body, as they regarded it as
originated by, and under the control
of, the evangelical jDarty.

At this time there was but one
church in Boston which still adhered to
the old faith, namely, " The old South,"
which stood firm though " shivering in
the cold." This remained steadfast to
the Old Catechism. During the first
eight years of the century some of the
Baptist churches of the city had been
visited by the Spirit. A few brethren ,
of the Old South desired to join in
kokling prayer-meetings, but were op-
posed by the members of the society
and some of the church. Nine breth-
ren, however, formed themselves into
a society for mutual religious improve-
ment, holding weekly meetings, and
frequently enjoying the presence of
Rev. Dr. Eckley, the pastor of the Old
South. For sixty years there had
been kept uj) a sociaLprayer-meeting
consisting of several ladies, members
of the Old South. It was originated
about 1745 or 1750, by Mrs. Abigail
Waters, a lady of most eminent piety
and usefulness, who was converted
under the preaching of Mr. Whitefield
and Mr. Tennent. She died, Nov.
22, 181C), at the great age of ninety-six.
In the summer of 1818, the evangelical
element received a powerful impulse
in the presence and preaching of Rev.
Dr. Kollock, of Savannah, Georgia.
He came in the fuludfes of the blessing
of the gospel of Christ. " He spoke,"
says one who heard him, "with irre-
sistible iDower. Unaccustomed as we
were to hear anything moving, his ap-
peals came upon us like thunder.
Crowds hung upon his lips and con-
fessed tlie power of earnest truth

earnestly preached." The presence of
this preacher emboldened the little
praying-circles just mentioned, and led
from one step to another, till Park
Street Church was organized, Feb. 27,
1808. Only three churches were rep-
resented on the Council, namely, the
church in Charlestown, Rev. Jedediah
Morse, D. D., pastor; the First Church
in Cambridge, Rev. Dr. Holmes, pastor;
and the Second Church in Dorchester,
Rev. J. Codman, pastor. The Old South
was invited, but declined to be present.
Dr. Kollock was immediately invited
to the pastorate, and J)v. Griffin, Pro-
fessor-elect at Andover, to preach once
on each Sabbath. The people of Sa-
vannah would not consent to Dr. KoI-j
lock's removal from their city. After
various efforts in different directions.
Park Street Church succeeded in per-
suading Edward Griffin, D. D., to settle
over them. He received the call in
Feb., accepted it. May 1, and was
installed July 31, 1811. "

The two or three years, which had
seen Park Street Church struggling
into existence, were also the years of
trial with Mr. Codman,-- years, through
which he was* carried most trium-
phantly,— years, which secured a great
victory to the cause of evangelical
truth. It was one of many events
which were fixing very distinctly the
line between the two parties. The
friends of evangelical truth felt that
they were standing comparatively
alone. They -were cutting themselves
off entirely from all ministerial inter-
course with the great majority of the
congregational clergymen t)f the neigh-
borhood. They were few in numbers,
but strong in faith, and in God as their
strength. About the close of Dr.
Codman's controversy, he received a
long and very kind, cordial letter from
Rev. Samuel Miller, r>. d., for some
time one of the eminent professors
of Princeton Theological Seminary.
From this letter, it is evident that the

condition of religion in the vicinity of
Boston attracted the deejiest sympathy
of all friends of the truth out of as
well as' in New England. Among
other valuable suggestions, he made
the following: "I am more and more
convinced that the friends of evangel-
ical truth in Boston and its neighbor-
'hood must consent, at least for a time,
to be a little and comparatively a de-
spised fiock. They must form a little
world of their own, and i^atiently bear ■
all the ridicule and insults of their
proud and wealthy foes. If they do
this ; if, instead of despairing or being
impatient in the day of small things,
like a band of brothers they humbly
wait on God, and when he tries their
faith, instead of being discouraged,
still trust in him ; if in short they take
for their model the conduct o&. tl^
apostles, when all the wit and learn-
ing and wealth and power of the world
were leagued against them, — they will
as certainly finally triumph over the
enemies of Chris-t, as there is a King
in the Holy Hill of Zion." Such in-
spiring words must have been pecul-
iarly encouraging to Mr. Codman in
his trying position. But they are of
sjiecial interest to us at this time as
seeming to give the first hint which
led to the formation of this Association.
The letter was dated, "Kew York,
Nov. 19, 1810." This Association
was organized the 29th of the next
May. Dr. Griffin had accepted his call
to Park Street, May 1, and was in-
stiled the succeeding July.

The first meeting of the Association,
of which there is any record, was held
at Mr. Armstrong's book-store in
Boston, May 29, 1811.

The record of this meeting reads as
follows: —

*' The Rev. Reuben Emerson, Joseph Emei--
son, Samuel Walker, and John Codman met at
Mr. Armstrong's book-store. in Boston, Jlay 29,
1811.

Rev. R. Emerson was chosen Sloderator, and

Thus did the friends of evangelical
truth " form a little community of their
own." They called it " The Union
j^^of'iation in Suffolk, Middlesex, Es-
sex, and N'orfolk Counties." They
fully believed that Union is Strenq-th,
and acted on the principle which Dr.
Miller had earnestly recommended.

The Boston Association had declined
having anything to do with the Gen-
eral Association, which was understood
to be composed of ministers of evan-
gelical faith. This new body showed
what ground they would take on this
question by choosing at their first
meeting two men to represent them in
the General Association at its next
meeting. The spirit and feelings
which actuated the originators can be
understood from the state of the times
and from the constitution which they
adopted, and which reads as follows: —

"CONSTITUTION.

The conviction and reformation of sinners,
the instruction and improvement of Christians,
and the purity and prosperity of the church
are objects which engage the first desires and
labors of every faithful minister of Christ.
All exertions which appear adapted ta pro-
mote these objects receive his hearty approba-
tion, and every institution calculated for their
success he rejoices to behold supported and

flourishing. Believing that we cherish desires
which should actuate every Christian minister,
and anxious that we may contribute all in our
power to the advancement and peace of the
Redeemer's kingdom, we, the subscribers,
after serious deliberation, and prayerful en-
treaties for divine direction, agree to form our-
selves into an association, under the regulations
and for the purposes, expressed in the follow-
ing articles;

Art. 1. The Association shall be denomi-
nated The Union Association in Suffolk, Mid-
dlesex, Essex, and Norfolk Counties.

Art. 2. The meetings of the Association
after the preserit shall be semi-annual, namely,
on the last Wednesday in April, and the last
Wednesday in October, at 10 A. M. The place
of each meeting shall be appointed at the one
next preceding. Special meetings shall be
called by the moderator at the request of any
three brethren.

Art. 3. The eldest member shall be moder-
ator of the Association, and the eldest member
present at each meeting shall preside.

Art. 4. There shall be a scribe chosen at
every meeting in April, who shall carefully
make, and preserve a record of the transactions
of the Association.

Art. 5. Each meeting shall be opened and
closed with prayer, which service the brethren
shall perform in turn, beginning with the mod-
erator.

Art. 6. There shall at each meeting be
read a discourse upon some subject in Theology
agreed upon at the next preceding meeting.
This service shall also be performed by the
brethren in turn, beginning with the youngest.
The discourse exhibited shall be submitted to
the free observation of the brethren.

Art. 7. As we sincerely lament the pres-
ent low and declining state of religion and
morals in our country, and particularly in our
vicinity, and as we believe that the Association
known by the name of The General Associfh-
iion of Massachusetts proper is calculated to
strengthen and advance the cause of evangel-
ical truth and piety, we agree, that so long a.s
our present views of that body remain, w
will annually choose two members to attend the
annual meeting of the said General Association
for the purposes specified in their constitution,
which members shall make their report to the
Association at the meeting in October.

Art. 8. The state of religion and morals
in the societies and the concerns of the
churches under our particular care, and in the
country at large, shall at every meeting be &
subject of serious inquiry and free discussion.

Art. 9. There shall be no alteration of
these articles, without the consent of two thirds
of the members of the Association. New ar-
ticles may be added by the same majority.

With earnest prayers for the peace and pros
perity of Zion, and fervent hopes, that our
designs and measures may be crowned with
happy success, we subscribe our names to
these articles.

Boston, 29th May, 1811. "

1 Jedediah Morse, d. d., Charlestown. He
was born in Woodstock, Ct., descendant of An-
thony JI., who lived in Newbury, Mass., 16.36.
He was born in 1761, graduated at Yale College
1783, and installed, April 30, 1789; dismissed,
1821. He established, and was first editor of, the
"Panoplist," which merged into the "Missionary
Herald;" was zealous for the Orthodox faith,
particularly in regard to the election of the
Hollis professor of divinity at Harvard Col-
lege. He deserves the title of American Geog-
rapher. He first published " Geography Made
Easy," 1784; "American Geography," 1789,
which in 1799 appeared in two volumes and in
many subsequent editions. In 1797 'and 1804
he published the " American Gazetteer." He
published a Thanksgiving sermon, in 1795,
1798, 1799; Fast sermon, 1798, 1799, 1811>; on
the death of R. Carey, 1790; of Thomas Russell'
1806; Masonic sermon, 1798; Address to
Andover Students, 1799; at the Artillery Elec-
tion, 1803; History of New England, with E.
Parish, D. d., of Byfield, 1804; Reasons why the
Election of Divinity was opposed, 1805; at the
African meeting-house, 1808; at the Ordination
of H. May, 1803; of J. Huntington, 1808; before
the Society for Propagating the Gospel, 1§10;
at the Convention, 1812; before a Moral Asso-
ciation, 1812; Appeal to the Public on the Contro-
versy concerning Harvard College, 1814; at the
Annual Meeting of the Commissioners for For-
eign Missions, 1821 ; Narrative of a Tour among
the Indians, in 1820. His wife was grand-
daughter of Pres. Finley. One of his sons is
known by the electric telegraph, two as editors
of the New York Observer.

Samuel Walker, minister of Danvers, was
born 1771, graduated at Dartmouth, 1802; or-
dained 1805; died 1826, aged 47. He was
faithful, and useful, and respected.

The aforesaid is taken from Allen's Biography.

Dr. Morse was pastor of the First
Church in Charlestown; Dr. Griffin of
Park Street Church, in Boston. Reu-
ben Emerson, of the Church of South
Reading. Joseph Emerson, of Bev-
erly, Samuel Walker, of Danvers,
John Codman of Second Church, Dor-
chester.

The next meeting was held at
Charlestown, Oct. 1811, with Dr. Morse.
There were present: Dr. Morse, Dr.
Griffin,Reuhen Emerson, Joseph Emer-
son, Samuel Walker, and JohifCodman.
Rev. Avery Williams, of Lexington,
was present, and joined the Association.
On recommendation of the General As-
sociation, this Association voted that
"each member of the Association be
requested to acquaint himself with the
laws of this Commonwealth, respecting
the due observation of the Sabbath, —
to preach on the subject, to read the
law in public, and to use his influence
to have the law carried into eifect."
Brother Williams was also appointed to
prepare a dissertation on the Sabbath.

The next April the Association met
at Dorchester. The same members
were present. Three new members
joined. Samuel Gile, for many years a
highly respected pastor in Milton,
where he was a staunch champion of
evangelical truth in the Unitarian con-
troversy; Daniel A. Clark, the first
pastor of the new church which had
lately been formed at Weymouth Land-
ing, who was a man of much power
in the pulpit; and Richard S. Storrs,
who had been settled over the first
church of Braintree, as colleague with
Rev. Ezra Weld, in the preA'ious July.
At that time there existed in
Norfolk County a minister's meeting,
comprising the clergymen of Brain*-
tree, Randolph, Weymouth, Abington,
Bridgewater, and other towns. This
meeting disappeared as new men came
and connected themselves with what
has since become the Norfolk Associa-
tion. AYhen the Council was called to

settle Mr. Storrs in Braintree, accoixl-
ing to the usual custom the candidate
selected such as he wished to perforin
the written parts of the ordination
His father, Eev. Richard S. Storrs, of
Longmeadow, was to preach the ser-
mon. Dr. Gritfin, who had been his
instructor at Andover, was prepared
to give the charge to the pastor, — Dr^
Griffin having been at Andover but a
short time, and Mr. Storrs wishing to
introduce him to the region south of
Boston, -^ and Mr, Codman, a neigh-
boring minister, and a young man had
come prepared to give the right hand
of fellowship. But when the Council
came together, they felt that their
rights had been infringed upon in the
principal part being assigned to stran-
gers. ^ Accordingly, in arranging the
parts for the public services, they set
aside the previous arrangement, and
permitting the father of the candidate
to preach the sermon, assigned the
other parts to men of their own num-
ber. Indignant at what he considered
a great breach of courtesy, Mr. Storrs
joined the Association, which had been
formed by his friends.

At the meeting in April, 1812, it was
" Voted by ballot, that the Rev. Profes-
sors Stuart and Porter of the Theologi-
cal Institution, Andover, and the Rev.
Messrs. Sanborn, Reynolds, Bates, and
Huntington be permitted to sul",scribe
the constitution any time between this
and the next stated meeting, and that
they be considered, upon subscribing,
members of the Association." Whether
these gentlemen ever met regularly
with the Association does not appear-
"Brother Clark was requested to pre-
pare a discourse upon the subject of
the Consociation of Churches," which
was read at the next meeting. Mr,
Storrs also read at a subsequent meet-

1 Another account says it was on account of
a strong jealousy of Andover, which then
existed, but soon disappeared.

ing an article on the question, " Is it
expedient to form consociations of
churches in Massachusetts proper at
this time? "

The next meeting was appointed
with Dr. Edward Griffin, on the last
Wednesday of October. He, however,
was engaged, on that day, at the ordi-
nation of Rev. Daniel Huntington, at
Bridgewater, and the meeting of the
Association was postponed for two
weeks. During the subsequent ten
years, changes took place in many of
the churches throughout these towns,
and the new pastors quite generally
joined this new Association.

The next April, the meeting was
held with Rev. Reuben Emerson, of
South Reading, His brother, Mr.
Brown Emerson, pastor of the South
Church of Salem, was present, and
joined the Association.

At that time, the Essex South Asso-
ciation was in existence; biit a majori-
tj of its members were decidedly Uni-
tarian in sentiment. Rev, Messrs, Jo-
seph Emerson, of Beverly, and Samuel
Walker,* of Danvers, had previously
joined this new enterprise. Several
years subsequently, however, Brown
Emerson, in connection with Messrs.
Walker and Joseph Emerson, and the
ministers of Marblehead, Lynn, and
other neighboring places, joined the
Essex South Association. The evan-
gelical part of the Association coming
to be the majority, they passed certain
votes, which led the Unitarian portion
to witlidraw, leaving the old records
and name of the original Essex South
in the hands of the evangelical minis-
ters, where it has continued to the
present.

By that movement, the Union Asso-
ciation lost its membership in Essex
County. Rev. Mr. Emerson, of South
Reading, soon after connected himself
with the Andover Association, though
retaining his nominal connection with
this. It would seem to be about this

time that the name was changed to
"The Union Association of Boston
and Vicinity." This occurred, Octo-
ber, 181G.

Previous to this, we have records of
a meeting held at Beverly, with Kev.
Joseph Emerson, when BrowA Emer-
son and Samuel Walker were appoint-
ed delegates to the General Associa-
tion. Rev. Samuel Dana, of Marble-
head, is spoken of as present at the
meeting. The subsequent meeting,
April, 1814, was held with Mr. Walk-
er, at Danvers. Brown Emerson was
scribe. Dr. Samuel Worcester was
present, and took i:)art in the discussion
of the following questions : —

1. Is it the right and duty of ordain-
ing councils to examine the candidate
for ordination with respect to his doc-
trinal and experimental acquaintance
with religion?

2. In case a majority of the council
decide against the right, what course
ought to be pursued by the minority?

These questions tell a history of the
times.' The records say, " The former
question was decided in the affirma-
tive. The latter question was contem-
plated in four ^iews : —

" 1. When all the minority, from an
acquaintance with the candidate, are
satisfed with his faith and experience,
it is the opinion of this Association, that
they ought to enter a formal remon-
strance.against the refusal of the right

1 " No ecclesiastical council, called even for
the simple purpose of ordination, could act har-
moniously and with satisfaction to all parties.
The different views of the members frequentlj-
caused jealousies, discussions, unpleasant de-
lays, and gi-eat dissatisfaction. Some desired
no examination of the candidate, as to senti-
ment and experience, but his own voluntary
statement. Some were unwilling to go, in
their inquiries, beyond certificates of moral
character and church fellowship. It was even
contended, by some, that, when a council was
called to introduce a man into the ministrj', and
ordain him as a pastor and teacher, their whole
business was, to ascertain whether he had been
so called to the work, and had so answered the

of examination, and join in the ordina-
tion.

" 2. When all the minority are dis-
saiisfied with the candidate, they are
bound to protest against the measures
of the majority, and take no part in the
ordination.

" 3. When a part of the minority are
satisfied with the candidate, and the
other i^art are dissatisfied, the last are
obliged to withdraw.

"• 4. When a i^art of the minority are
satisfied with the candidate,_ and the
rest have no possible evidence, either
for or against him, the latter, as the
case may be, may join with the former,
in assisting in the ordination, on the
ground of testimony."

We ai"e now come to the second era
in the history of the Association, during
which it went by the name of " The
Union Association," more fully, "of
Boston and Vicinity." This period
lasted till after the Boston ministers
formed the Suffolk Association, which
lirst appears on the minutes of the Gen-
eral Association, in 1823. "The name of
the Union was changed to Xorfolk in Ju-
ly, 1826. During the greater part of this
period, the Union comprised the min-
isters of Charlestown, Boston, and the
towns south of Boston, namely, Dor-
chester, Braintree, Randolph, Wey-
mouth, Sharon, Bridgewater, Abing-
ton, Middleboro', Taunton, Easton, and
Stoughton. J

The Minutes of the General Associ-
ation for 1819 mention S. E. Dwight as

call, as to lay the foundation of an ecclesiastical
relation and a legal contract, — and then to
sanction the relation, and confirm the contract.
The consequence was, that those ministers who
heeded the apostolic direction, ' to lay hands
suddenly on no man,' were sometimes not per-
mitted to make the requisite inquiries to satisfy
their minds whether the candidate did or did
not possess the required qualifications for a
Christian bishop. Hence, divisions sometimes
ensued: at least, great delay was occasioned,
and often great offence given." — Mtmoir of
Jdhn Cod/nan, b. D., p. 160.

Chester Isham, of Taunton, in 1821;
Josiah Bent, Jr., of North Weymouth,
1825; Jona. Curtis, of Sharon, in 182o;
Erastus Maltby, of Taunton, in 182G.

At the meeting in July, 1822, Messrs.
Fay (successor of Dr. Morse), Coggs-
well, of Dedham, and D wight, of Park
Street, were dismissed, to join the
Sulfuik Association, just then formed.
This took away all the membershij)
north of Norfolk County, and led to
another change of name, in 1826, when
it was "■' Voted, To change the name
which this Association bears to that of
• Norfolk Association.'" In 1827, an-
other delegation went oft, — Messrs.
Colby, of Middleboro', and Maltby, of
Taunton, — to form, with other mmis-
ters, the -Association of Taunton and
Vicinity." From that time to the pres-
ent, the active membership of the Asso-
ciation has been conhned chiefly to the
eastern half of Norfolk.County, and the
northern part of Plymouth County.

The original membership of the body
was six. The present membership is
forty-two. One hundred and seven-

teen clergymen have been connected
with the Association.

The moderators have been Eev. Keu-
ben Emerson, Rev. Jedediah Morsei
D. D., 1811-1819; Eev. John Codman
D. D., 1819-1831, and 1833-1848; Sam-
uel Gile, for 1831-2; Rev. R. S. Storrs,

1848. Previous to 1831, the oldest
memlier was moderator. Subsequent-
ly, the office has been filled by ballot.

The scribes (who have acted as treas-
urers and statistical scribes), have been
Rev. John Codman, D. D., from May,
1811, to April, 1819. Rev. Daniel Hun-
tington, from April, 1819, to April, 1822.
Rev. Jonas Perkins, from April, 1822,
to April, 1825. Rev. Samuel Spring,
from April, 1825, to April, 1827. Rev
Josiah Bent, Ji-., from April, 1827, to
April, 1832. Rev. David Sanford,
from April, 1832, to April, 1838. Rev.
Samuel W. Cozzens, from April, 1838-
to April, 1844. Rev. Wm. A. Pea-
body, from April, 1844, to October,

1849. Rev. Samuel L. Rockwood,
from October, 1849, to Ai)ri], 1855.
Rev. D. Temple Packard, from April,
1855, to April, 1857. Rev. Theodore

Rev. F. R. Abbe, from April, 1859, to
April, 1863. Rev. L. Root Eastman,
Jr., from April, 1803, to October, 1865.

The churches originally mentioned
by the connection of their pastors with
the Association, were six, namely : The
First Church, in Charlestown; Park
Street Church, Boston; Church in So.
Reading; Dane Street Church, Bever-
ly; Church in Danvers; Second Church
in Dorchester. The following other
churches have been similarly connect-
ed. They are given in the order of
joining: Church in Lexington; Church
in Milton; First Church in Braintree;

Of these churches, thirty are now
connected, by their pastors, with the
Association. Of the fifty-one, twenty-
six have been organized since the for-
mation of the Association ; and, besides
these, there have, during the same time,
been twenty Evangelical Congrega-
tional Churches formed in the various
towns and cities, whose ministers have,
during a portion of the time, belonged
to this body, namely: in Beverly, one;
Danvers, one; Salem, one; Bridgewa-
ter, one; Hanover, one; Boston, thir-
teen; Taunton, two. On the ground,
a large part of which has, at different
times, been included within the limits
of this Association, there are now the
two Suffolk Associations, comprising
one 22; and one 27 churches; the Es-
sex South and the Tixunton Associa-

tions. Where once the friends of the
truth felt that there were " signs of
woe that all was lost," now is seen
great strength.

FORMATION OF CONFERENCHE.

At the meeting in April, 1827, " the
report of Dr. Codman and Bro. Storrs,
respecting the expediency of adopting
A Conference of the Chufdhes within
the bounds of this Association, was ac-
cepted, and a vote passed, that such a
measure is, in the opinion of the Asso-
ciation, highly expedient. The meth-
od of adopting and conducting the con-
ference was then discussed, and the
following motion, made by Bro. Hitch-
cock and seconded by Bro. Gay, was
passed into a vote, 'That the Asso-
ciation invite the churches connected
with the several ministers to send such
a number of delegates as they may
choose, to attend a Conference of
Churches, to be held at Dorchester on
Thursday, 14th June next, at ten
o'clock, A. 31., and, if thought proper,
to make arrangement for similar meet-
ings in future.' " In compliance with
the above invitation, there assembled,
at the time specified, the ministers,
with their delegates, of twelve church-
es. Reports were heard, in the fore-
noon, on the state of religion in the sev-
eral churches. In the afternoon, " a
general narrative was given by Rev.
Mr. Storrs, and a sermon by the Rev.
Dr. Beecher, of Boston, and the admin-
istration of the Lord's Supper." Dr.
Beecher was present as delegate from
the Sulfolk Conference, which had been
previously formed. "After public wor-
ship, the Conference met, according to
adjournment, and passed the following
unanimous vote: 'That it is the sense
of this body, that these meetings prom-
ise great good to the church.' " Dele-
gates were appointed to other confer-
ences, and permanent officers were
chosen for the year. Thus, the Confer-

26

Sketch of the Norfolk Association in Massachusetts. Jan.

ence was fully started, and its semi-
annual meetings have ever since been
occasions of deep interest in the com-
munity. For a number of years, the
same person acted as scribe of both
the Association and Conference, as
well as of the Domestic Missionary
Society, and the records were all kept
in the same book; but, of late years,
the bodies have moved on entirely dis-
tinct, — in some cases, churches being
connected with the Conference, whose
ministers are members of other associa-
tions, and vice versa.

BENEVOLENT OPERATIONS.

From the very first, an active aggres-
sive spirit has been kejDt ui5, in refer-
ence to the spread of the truth. The
constitution originally commenced with
the words, " The conviction and ref-
ormation of sinners, the instruction
and improvement of Christians, and
the purity and prosperity of the Church,
are objects which should engage the
first desires and lab'ors of every faith-
ful minister of Christ." The time of
the formation of the Association was
one in which the friends of evangelical
truth felt the need of zealous warfare.
And warfare it was, in right good ear-
nest, for the first twenty years of this
body's existence. The originators of
this Association, and the men who com-
posed it during that score of years,
were staunch warriors. The expe-
rience of Codman, in Dorchester, of
Gile, in Milton, of Sheldon, in Easton,
as well as many others, was such as
tried men's souls; and none but men
of unflinching courage, of steady, firm
adherence to the truth, could have won
such victories. Such exjDerience fitted
these men for an active co-operation in
every home missionary work. In 1818,
the General Association formed what
they called the Domestic Missionary
Society. It was composed of the mem-
bers of the General Asso(;iation, and

its meetings held during the same week.
About this time, Ave find the members
of the Union Association taking active
measures in helping the churches in
Canton and Stoughton, which were fee-
ble, and had strong foes to contend
with in the Unitarian ranks. We find
them, also, taking active measures to-
ward raising subscriptions to the funds
of the Massachusetts Domestic Mis-
sionary Society.

At the meeting in October, 1822,
there was a free discussion on the
"subject of ministerial duty in re-
lation i^articularly to the lamentable
state of religious declension in the
churches." At the next meeting, in
April, 1823, Dr. Codman, in behalf of
a committee previously appointed " to
report some plan by which the mem-
bers of this body may unitedly promote
the interests of the Domestic Mission-
ary Society of Massachusetts," made a
lengthy report, which alluded to the
several feeble churches and societies in

was " both a duty and a privilege." To
aid these churches, and at the same
time help forward the work of the Do-
mestic Missionary Society of the State,
the report embodied a series of resolu-
tions which led to the formation of the
Union Domestic Missionary Society, as
auxiliary to the State Society. This
was composed of the members of the
Association, together with lay delegates
from the several churches. The meet-
ings were held the same day with the
meetings of the Association. Collec-
tions were taken up at these meetings
by the Association. Collectors were
appointed, in the several churches, in
order to canvass each town.

chiefly under the auspices of that body,
some church being continually helped
by the Confei-ence. In July, 1826,
there was proposed and adopted, and
a committee appointed to make the
necessary arrangements for carrying
out, a resolution in regard to several
poor and needy parishes, — " Carver,
Rochester, "Westport, Fall Biver, As-
sonet, Wellington, and Stoughton."
This resolution provided that the breth-
ren should go, two by two, to each of
these jDlaces, and spend not less than
ten days in laboring and preaching
among the peoj^le, and, after an inter-
val of four weeks, to be followed by
two others.

ON PASTORAL DUTIES.

[Read before the Rutland (Vt.) Association of Ministers, and published at their request.]
BV REV. SILAS AIKEN, D. D., RUTLAND, YT.

It is not proposed to bring the entire
subject of pastoral duties into con-
sideration, including public preaching,
prayer, and the administration of gos-
pel ordinances, but rather that part of
it which relates to the pastor's labors,
apart from, though intimately connect-
ed with, his public ministry, and upon
which the success of his ministry great-
ly d€f)ends. Indeed the phrase '■'■pas-
toral duties,''^ in its jjopular acceptation,
has main and almost exclusive regard
to the more private care, oversight, and
instruction of the flock.

The Scriptures give such instructions,
in regard to the right discharge of the
pastoml office, as involve the special
care and oversight now under consid-
eration. Mark the Saviour's descrip-
tion of the good shepherd, in the tenth
chapter of the gospel of John. The
good shepherd so well knows his sheep,
that he calls them by name, and leads
them out ; and they follow him, for they
know his voice. "Whereas, the hireling,
who careth not for the sheep, and is a
stranger to them, they will not follow,
for they know not the voice of stran-
gers. Again, in the parable of the lost
sheep, when but one of the flock has
gone astray, the faithful shepherd no-
tices the loss, leaves the ninety and
nine in the wilderness, and goes in
search of the one that is lost, until he
finds it. " I am the Good Shepherd,"
said Christ, " and know my sheep, and
am known of mine." If the Christian
pastor should be like Christ, these par-
ables clearly indicate his duty in regard
to a personal and familiar acquaintance
with his people.

Again, mark the charge of Paul to
the elders of Ephesus : " Take heed to

yourselves and to all the flock, over
which the Holy Ghost hath made you
overseers; " and then he reminds them
that, during the three years of his la-
bors at Ephesus, he had been serving
God, with all humility of mind, with
many tears and temptations, and had
" not ceased to warn every one, night
and day, with tears," and had " taught
them pubhcly, and from hoi:se to
house ; " wherefore he calls them to
witness that he was " pure from the
blood of all men." Also to the Colos-
sians, " warning every man, and teach-
ing every man, in all wisdom, that we
may present every man perfect in
Christ Jesus." The same apostle's
charge to Timothy was, "Preach the
word, be instant in season, out of sea-
son, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all
long-suffering and doctrine." And to
the Heljrews he said, " Obey them that
have the rule over you, for they watch
for your souls, as they that must give
account." Other passages, of like im-
port, might be cited ; a^nd it is obvious
that neither the letter nor spirit of these
insti-uctions is obeyed by the j^astor
who ignores this j^articular oversight
of his people, and confines himself al-
most exclusively to the labors of the
pulijit.

Says Eichard Baxter, in discoursing
on pastoral duties, " Our taking heed
to all the flock necessarily supposes
that we should know every person that
belongs to our charge; for how can we
take heed to them, if we do not know
them? "We must labor to be acquaint-
ed as fully as we can, not only with the
persons, but with the state of our peo-
ple,— their inchnations and conversa-
tions, — what are the sins they are most

30

[Jan.

in danger of; what duties tliey neglect,
botli with respect to the matter and tlie
manner; and to what temiitations they
are peculiarly liable. If we know not
the temperament or disease, we are
likely to prove unsuccessful physi-
cians."

" Being thus acqiiainted Math all the
flock, we must do the work of a pastor
toAvard every individual. And one
would imagine that all reasonable men
would be so well satisfied in regard to
this, that nothing need be said to rec-
ommend it. Does not a careful shep-
herd look after every individual sheep,
and a good physician attend every i^ar-
ticular patient? Why, then, should not
the shepherds and physicians of the
church take heed to every individual
member of their chai'ge? "

Baxter then proceeds, after his own
graphic and pungent manner, to say
how the pastor should deal with the
different characters and conditions
found among his people : as with those
who are ignorant in the matters of their
salvation; with awakened and inquir-
ing souls; with families, — to see that
they are well ordered, that catechetical
instruction, the daily reading of the
Scriptures, and prayer, are maintained
in them; with the sick and dying;
with scandalous offenders, seeking to
bring them to repentance, before their
cases are reported for public dis-
cipline ; and with humble, upright
Christians, who adorn their profession,
for their due encouragement in the
ways of God. "Without affirming that
just this manner of personal inspection
and private instruction, in the form
here set forth, is adapted to all times
and circumstances, we think it must be
conceded, that, in substance and de-
sign, these suggestions of the noted
l^astor of Kidderminster are right, and
in accordance with the revealed will of
God; and that, substantially, such a
course of pastoral labor is incumbent
on every one who takes upon liim

the oversight of souls, — and for such
reasons as follow : —

1. A jiarticular oversight and care
of the flock, as akeady intimated, is in-
volved in the idea of the pastoral work,
— is a part of it, — and can no more be
pushed aside or ignored, than any other
part. If the teaching of Christ, en-
forced by an examjjle which perfectly
fulfilled the words of the prophet, —
" He shall feed his flock like a shej)-
herd; he shall gather the lambs with
his arm, and carry them in his bosom ;"
if the example and teaching of the
apostles furnish the ti'ue pattern and
law of a pastor's work, — then the man
who assumes the sacred office, and, in
the neglect of the personal inspection
and private instruction of the souls
committed to his care, thinks to dis-
charge his obligations by his pulpit la-
bors, is sadly derelict in duty. He sets
aside the scriptural model, and sets up
a standard of his own devising instead.
He does not take heed to all the flock
over which the Holy Ghost has made
him overseer. Just as consistently
with the pastoral office might he neg-
lect to teach publicly, as from house to
house. Just as consistently refuse to
preach to the Athenians on Mars Hill,
as to the jailer and his household at
Philipi^i, or to the woman of Samaria
at Jacob's well.

2. The pastor needs the knowledge
derived from these more private labors,
in order to the most effective perform-
ance of his public duties.

By familiar acquaintance with the
families and individuals of his charge,
he learns, as he can learn in no other
way, the character of the minds he has
to deal with, their errors, dangers and
temptations, the extent of their knowl-
edge, the ctirrent of their thoughts and
feelings, and by what avenues he can
best find access to the hearts of his
people. In this way grave and im-
portant subjects of discourse are con-
tiimally suggested to his mind, such as

18G6.]

meet the actual state and wants of his
hearers. And duly heeding and follow-
ing out these suggestions, he will never
lack a good text to preach from, or a
definite object to aim at, or forcible
illustrations of his subject. Preaching
founded in such knowledge will com-
mend itself to the consciences of the
hearers. While the minister avoids all
offensive personaKties, those who listen
to him will wonder how he could so
truly describe their cases, and tell them
all that was in their hearts. This
knowledge of the spiritual condition
and wants of the flock arouses the
pastor's sympathies, gives vitality and
force to his iiublic ministrations, and
enables him to give to each one his
portion in due season. He preaches
the Word, but it is the Word in its
adaptation to the known condition of
his hearers.

Whereas, the jDastor who neglects
this personal inspection of the flock
and is a stranger to his people, except
as they see his face and hear his voice
in the pulpit, lacks some of the greatest
incentives and helps in the work of
preaching. He may be well versed in
theology, and discourse with marked
ability on the fundamental truths of
Christianity, as the existence of God,
the ti-inity, human depravity, predes-
tination and free-will, regeneration,
repentance, faith, and the projoer evi-
dences of piety ; and by contending
earnestly for the faith once dehvered
to the saints, in the i^ulpit, he may think
that he is magnifying his ofiice and
doing all his duty. And we are far
from saying or believing that such
preaching will accomplish no good. In
its proper time and place it is important.
But its grand defect is that it is formal
and general in its bearing, not adapted
to the peculiar needs of his hearers.
Many of their doubts and difiiculties in
religion are of another kind. It may
inform the intellect, but fiiils to reach
the conscience alid the heart. At best

it is drawing the bow at a venture, and
fighting as one that beats the air. And
when the young pastor has preached
on the more familiar topics, and begins
to feel the necessity of enlarging the
sphere of his discourses, ignorant of
what his people have most need to hear,
his mind is oftentimes afloat. What
shall be the sniDJect for the next sermon,
becomes a perplexing question. Of the
wants of his people he has no such
knowledge as helps him in a selection.
The Sabbath is nigh at hand, and preach
he must. The work, which by a different
course would have been rendered easy
and delightful, has become a task and
a drudgery ; and not unfrequently such
a pastor will find himself, on Saturday,
in the condition of the one who, near
the end of the week, went in search of
a text from Genesis to Revelation,
knocking at every door and not one
would open to him. And in such a
dilemma, it will not be very strange, if
recklessness bring him into the sadder
predicament of a certain preacher in
England, who on an occasion chanced
to have Robert South for a hearer. " My
dear sir," said South to his ministerial
brother after the service, " how long did
it take you to prepare this discourse ? "
" Only about two days," was the reply.
"Well, sir," said South, " to write that
sermon cost me two weeks of hard la-
bor."

3. The union, stability, and spiritual
welfare of the flock require this per-
sonal oversight and care on the part of
the pastor.

The people expect to i;eceive some
personal attention from their minister,
at their own homes, and they have a
right to expect it. They had each a
part in calling him to his office. They
contribute to his temporal support, and
feel that they have a claim to his friend-
ly notice. By occasional calls upon
their families to inquire after their
bodily and spiritual welfare, he greatly
endears himself to them, and secures

32

[Jan.

their constant and interested attend-
ance ou his public ministry. By such
a, course, methodically pursued, many
a pastor, of but ordinary preaching
ability, has attached his people to him
as with hooks of steel. Convinced of
his earnest desire for their present and
everlasting well-being, their ears are
open to his instruction, and to them his
words are clothed with wisdom and
power. No other minister are they so
glad to see in their pulpit, and indeed
none other preaches quite so Avell.
Other denominations, and the preachers
of another faith, may seek to make in-
roads upon his field. Now and then
an explosive meteor may shoot athwart
the heavens, but the flock know the voice
of their own shepherd, and strangers
they will not follow. After many years
of happy and successful labor, that
pastor finishes his course. Devout
men carry him to his burial, and make
great lamentation over him, and his
name goes down fragrant to after gen-
erations. Now what is the secret of
this pastor's success in holding together,
strengthening, and enlarging his church
and congregation ? Past a doubt it was
his taking heed to all the flock in a faith-
ful attention to pastoral duties. His
private intercourse with his peojjle on a
few week-day afternoons prepared the
way for his more effective ministo-
tions on the Sa]>bath. As might be ex-
pected, God blessed his labor of love, and
permitted him to reap what he had sown,
Irt large cities it may occur that
some sensation-preacher will draw
crowds to hear his discourses on relig-
ion, and whatever subjects may at the
time be agitating the public mind,
though he ignores this pastoral care ;
and this, by himself and others, may
be accounted a great success. But in
that congregation there is no bond of
union in the faith and fellowship of the
gospel ; nothing that insures or prom-
ises permanency for generations to
come ; and no sooner does the al trac-

tion cease to appear in the puljiit, than
the i^ews are deserted. But even this
ephemeral success is not practicable in
our country parishes, which embrace
a limited and permanent population.
Here, and in truth everywhere, the
true enlargement of Christ's kingdom
can be secured only by a faithful atten-
tioH to all the duties involved in the
pastoral office ; and the man who as-
sumes that office, and with his ordina-
tion vows upon him, secludes himself
from his people, and gives all his time
and thought to his preparations for the
pulpit, though he there speak with the
tongue of men and of angels, will in the
end, as to the true design of his ofiice,
have much occasion to say, " I have
labored in vain, and spent my strength
for naught."

In this deficiency in pastoral over-
sight and intercourse with the people,
do we not find a main reason for the
present stationary, if not weak and de-
clining, condition of many of our Con-
gregational churches and societies, at
least in the New England States ? The
outskirts of the town or parish are not
looked after. No stated lecture is
maintained by the pastor for their bene-
fit. The people formerly attending
Congregational worship become indif-
ferent, fall off to other denominations,
who establish meetings among them,
and after such denominations have
secured the outposts, they commence
Sabbath worship in the village side by
side with the Congregational church,
and find not a few even there, nominally
Congrcgationalists it may be, who, hav-
ing no acquaintance with their nfinieter,
are ready to join the new enterprise,
and connect themselves with some re-
ligious society whose minister will
deign to notice them. And where these
neglected outposts are not taken up
by other denominations, the people
cease to attend public worship any-
where, and practically become heathen
in the midst of us. This is no fancy

sketch : would that it were nothing
more. In not a few localities this pro-
cess has been going on in years past.
It is going on still, threatening the
extinction of some once prosperous
churches. And wherefore is it ? Kot
because our Congregational pastors do
not preach the gospel to their people
on the Sabbath ; not because they do
not desire the salvation of their flocks ;
but to a great extent- it is because of a
sad deficiency in the pastoral oversight
and care of the peoj)le. And if such be
the case, the true remedy is sufficiently
indicated in preceding remarks.

4. Another reason for fidehty in the
pastoral oversight and care of the flock
is found in this, that such labors, apart
from public preaching, have a direct
tendency to do good to souls.

Many a child of God, in doubt and

mission over an itinerant ministry. It
assumes that the confidence and attach-
ment, resulting from many years of
friendly intercourse and faithful labors
for the salvation of his people, give him
special facilities for doing them good ;
and who will question the correctness
of the assumption ? In this perma-
nency of the pastoral relation is found
a main element of power in the Con-
gregational system, as also the surest
guarantee of ministerial success. Noth-
ing contributes more to such perma-
nency of relation than strict attention
to pastoral duties. Here flows the life-
blood of the relation. That a pastor
will long remain with a people whose
names he does not know, whose homes
he does not visit, and whose individual
souls he does not seem to care for, is
not to be expected. As a stranger he

discouragement, has found great relief comes to them ; as a stranger he leaves

from the friendly visit of his pastor.
And many a sinner', who has withstood
the most powerful arguments and ap-
peals from the pulpit, has melted under
the faithful words of his minister spoken
in private. Of all God's regenerate
people on earth and in heaven, how
many would refer you to the faithful
dealing of a pastor, who chanced to
meet them alone, as the means of their
salvation ! The good tendency of such
private labors with individuals and
families is too obvious to need further
remarks.

Let us view the subject from another
stand-point. Our Congregational polity
contemplates permanency in the pas-
toral relation, but what becomes of
permanency where the duties under
consideration are neglected ? Our sys-
tem assumes that a man who is per-
manently settled as pastor of a local
church, and who becomes intimately
acquainted with the families and indi-
viduals who constitute his charge, in
all the variety of their social, intellect-
ual, and religious character and habits,
has a vast advantage in fulfilling his
3

them, and no strong cords are sundered
at the parting. As the discharge of
these private duties passes into desue-
tude, the pastoral relation is imder-
mined, and a main vantage-ground of
our system is given up.

The practice of far too many churches
claiming to be Congregational, of de-
pending upon stated supplies instead of
settled pastors, is one of evil omen, — an
augury of increasing weakness if not of
ultimate extinction. What motive has
he who ministers to such a church, to
devote himself to pastoral labors, when
his sfight relation to the people may
terminate at any time ? And but little
better is the practice of settling a pastor
for a limited time, or with the condition
that the relation shall cease upon either
of the parties giving a specified notice.
This, Uke the case just mentioned, is an
exotic in our system, and the sooner
rooted out the better. Both are fatal
drawbacks to pastoral fidelity and suc-
cess.

If we would have Congregationalism
clothed with its primitive power and
efficiency, the churches must have

their own pastors, and the pastors must
follow out the primitive method of
taking heed to all the flock; teaching
publicly and from house to house ;
warning every man and teaching every
man, in all wisdom, that they may
present every man perfect in Christ
Jesus. Let this become the order of
things, and a brighter day shall soon
arise upon our Zion. Moreover, Congre-
gationalism is pre-eminently fitted to be
aggressive upon the world. But what
becomes of its aggressive character
when the duties under consideration
are neglected ? Go into the parishes
whose pastors give all their time and
strength to their pulpit services, and
whose " voice of instruction and prayer
is rarely if ever heard in the homes of
their people, and tell us what and how
much is being dong in those locaUties
in the way of aggression upon the king-
dom of darkness. What would be a
eiu'er jDresage of increasing prosperity
and enlargement to the Congregational
churches throughout the land, than a
hearty adoj)tion by all their pastors
of the ways of the New England fathers
and of the apostles of Christ, in the
faithful performance of pastoral duties?
How soon, in that case, would the ag-
gressive power of Congregationalism
become manifest in the salvation of
multitudes now perishing in sin ?

Before concluding, it may be well to
notice, briefly, two common excuses
for the neglect of pastoral duties.

One is, the want of time. The pastor
says that the preparation for his pul-
pit, and unavoidable calls to houses of
sickness and mourning, leave to him no
time for visiting his people. He must
either slight his sermons, or give up
pastoral visits; and the latter is the
less evil. To this it is a sufficient re-
ply, that the more he neglects acquaint-
ance with the state and wants of his
people, the more time he will need to
prepare his sermons. If he would have
his work of preparation to preach made

easy, let him learn what he needs to
say and do. Let him know his people,
as he can know them only, by kind.
Christian intercourse. And as with
such knowledge his soul kindles with
desire to do them good, and with a def-
inite object to aim at, he will hold the
pen of a ready wi'iter, and his mouth
will be full of arguments. No longer
will he need to sjDend hours in hunting
for texts, and planning how to mould
them into eloquent discourses. Under
the quickening influence of intercourse
with the souls committed to his charge,
it will not be strange if he comes into
sym^Dathy with a successful pastor, now
gone to his rest, who said it filled him
with amazement to hear his brethren
complain that the Sabbaths came too
frequently. For his jDart, he often
wished there were two Sabbaths in the
week, instead of one. With a heart
set upon God's glory in the salvation
of souls, and with sensibilities keenly
alive to the known necesssities of his
people, the pastor will both write well
and preach well, and his labor will not
be in vain in the Lord.

The other common excuse for the
neglect is, the want of tact and ability
to make such labors profitable.

That the discharge of these duties is
sometimes attended with difficulty is
not to be denied. There may be un-
reasonable and wicked men and irre-
ligious families connected with the con-
gregation, who do not want to be cate-
chised., as they say, upon religion. They
want the minister to visit them, but not
for that purpose. And then, different
individuals can be approached only in
different ways. The pastor will some-
times be i^erplexed in finding the best
way, or any way, to some of his peo-
ple's hearts. But what dejiartment of
Christian duty is free from dtfflcultyV
And shall the minister of Christ, called
of God to his office, with God's jirof-
fered Avisdom to guide him, plead dis-
quahfication for the work assigned to

himV The great body of his iicoj^le
will kindly receive him ; and what
though he must "save some, pulling
them out of the fire," — will they not
forever thank God for his fidelity?
The times and ways of doing his work
are, of course, left to the pastor's dis-
cretion; and this he will find true, that
as he heartilj^ enters upon these labors,
difficulties will vanish, and his tact and
ability rapidly increase by use. But
we are referred to the exam]3le of Pres-
ident Edwards, who thought himself
constitutionally unfitted for pastoral
visiting, and judged that he could do
his peoj)le more good in his study than
at their homps, and acted accordingly.
Be it so; and whether he was right or
wrong in that judgment, we care not to
inquire. But is it not worthy of con-
sideration, whether the shameful treat-
ment which Edwards received from the
people of Northampton was not, in

good part, the natural consequence of
his course in that particular? Who
can doubt the ability of Jonathan Ed-
wards to have made pastoral inter-
course with his people both pleasant
and profitable? And, had he endeared
himself to them by kind personal atten-
tions, through all the years that he was
their pastor, is it i^robable, or possible,
that they could have manifested such a
want of candor and kindness and hu-
manity, in thrusting him out in the
way they did, even refusing to hear
him preach, when their pulpit was va-
cant? Let the entire history of Ed-
wards' pastorate in JTorthampton be
taken into account, and let his example
in regard to pastoral duties have all the
weight it is entitled to. Besides, is it
credi1)le that God ever calls to the pas-
toral office a man who is really incom-
petent to discharge its appropriate du-
ties?

THE USURPATION OF JUDICIAL FUNCTIONS BY THE CONGREGA-
TIONAL CLERGY.

BY REV. H. P. ARMS, D.D., NORWICH, CONN.*

In the Congregational Quarterly for
January, 1865, is an article on "The
Functions of Ministerial Association,"
by Rev. Samuel Lee, of New Ipswich,
N. H.

Of the author we have no knowledge
beyond what we gather from the article
itself. What private griefs he may
have had, which made him write it, we
know not. Its whole animus, however,
is on the face of it hostile to the Chris-
tian ministry; and we confess to not a
fittle surprise at seeing it in a magazine
devoted to the interests of the Congre-
gational churches. It would have
seemed more at home in tho Hartford

* Read before the monthly meeting of tlie
Feb. 14, and published by their request.

Times, the New York Express, or Ben-
nett's Herald.

The article begins by lamenting the
universal tendency of the sacred pro-
fession to arrogate to itself govern-
mental authority. This tendency cul-
minated at an early day in Popery.
The author admits that the Puritans
and the Pilgrims of New England re-
pudiated the clerical power and vested
all government in the ijeoi^le. Out of
this principle in our ecclesiastical affairs
grew all our ci\il fiberties.

Why then charge the sins of the
Papacy upon men who abhor and re-
pudiate til em? What proof is there of

Congregational ministers of New London county,

36

Usurpation of Judicial Functions.

[Jan.,

any tendency among the Congrega-
tional ministers of New England to-
ward ecclesiastical usnri)ation?

The principal specification under this
charge is that ministerial associations
claim the power, in certain cases, of
disciplining their own men^bers, and
thus exercising judicial functions.
" Some associations, in Massachusetts,
have arraigned their own members on
charges of immorality or heresy, and
as a i^enalty have expelled the con-
demned. Not only so, they have jjub-
lished the fact in the religious papers
of the day." This, it is claimed, is
libelous, and aftbrds ground for action
in a criminal suit. It is the usurpation
of judicial authority.

In no coi'rect use of language is the
action here complained o? judicial. The
judiciary is a branch of the civil gov-
ernment for the disj^ensation of justice.
Its opinions are authoritative. It de-
crees fines and imprisonments. It con-
trols the sword of the magistrate. As-
sociations of Congregational ministers
neither exercise nor claim any such
power. They do not even assume the
right to discipline their own members.
The author affirms, indeed, that by the
Saybrook platform, " Associations have
the poAver in certain cases of disciplin-
ing ministers." So far from this, the
power of discipline is expressly vested
in a council, composed of delegates
from the churches. The language of
the platform is : " That the said asso-
ciated pastors shall take notice of any
among themselves, that may be accused
of scandal, or heresy unto, or cognizable
by them, examine the matter carefully,
and if they find just occasion, shall di-
rect to the calling of the Coimcil, where
such oflenders shall be duly proceeded
against." (Art. 13.) All the power
which the association have assumed is
the power to bring a complaint against
an offending brother before a council,
which, if it sees just cause, may jDro-
ceed to discipline the offender.

But associations, it is alleged, exclude
members from their body for heresy or
immorality. True, and in so doing
they are not inflicting discipline, but
simply exercising a right inherent in
all associations of men, for whatever
purpose, to prescribe the conditions of
membership. Our school lioys, in their
daily i^astimes, have an ixndoubted right
to select their own associates, and pre-
scribe rules to gover.n their games.
If one of their number violates the
rules of the club, they may exclude
him from their body, and publish the
fact of his exclusion, and that without
usurping judicial powers or subjecting
themselves to prosecution for a libel.
They may not lawfully injure his per-
son or his projDerty, or defame his
character. If they do so, they are liable
for damages. They have no right to ex-
pel him from the school, for he does not
hold his place there by their authority.
But his exclusion from their voluntary
club is a right which no sane man,
much less a court of justice, could ever
question. And yet tliis right the author
denies to an association of Christian
ministers, and affirms that " so long as
they remain ordained ministers, no
vote of the body can deprive them of
the i^rivileges of membership." To at-
tempt this would be an imputation upon
their character, for which the oftenders
are liable in damages.

Whether a disaffected member has
the right of secession from the body
to which he belongs, the writer does
not say. By parity of reasoning we
should suppose that he could not with-
draw, so long as his associates " re-
main ordained ministers." To do so
would be a libelous aspersion vipon the
characters of his brethren. Once a
member always a member, until he
is deposed from the ministry. What
protection, then, have oxir associations
against the intrusion or retention of
unworthy members? Let one deny
the essential doctrines of our religion.

or live in ojDen violation of every sev-
eral precept in the decalogue; so long-
as he remains an ordained minister, he
mnst retain his standing in- the asso-
ciation. The body has no right to ex-
clude him; for this Avould be saying to
the churches that he fs unworthy of
their confidence. It might cost him his
place and his salary, and thus render
his bi'ethren liable for damages. He
cannot voluntarily withdraw; for this
would be an imputation uj^on the char-
acters of those who remain.

What remedy does our author pro-
pose for such a state of things? He
says : " Let the case be reported to the
church of which he is either pastor or a
member." If he is rightfully dej^osed
from the ministry, he is no longer enti-
tled'to membershijj in the association.
But suppose he carries his church with
him, so that they uphold him in his in-
fidelity or in his immorality. On this
theory he must remain a member of a
body to which he has no affinity, and
they must continue to indorse him as
a minister of Christ, and worthy of
all confidence. Otherwise, this writer
would advise him to prosecute for a
libel every man in the association who
should dare to vote for his exclusion.

He admits that a church has the right
to exclude unworthy members from
its communion, — and why? Because
they are organized on the principle that
their members are regenerate men ; and
whenever they fail to furnish evidence
of such character, they must be ex-
cluded. This power he admits is neces-
sary to the very existence of a church.
And why is it less necessaxy to the
existence of an association? The bare
fact of ordination is not the only quali-
fication required for admission to an
association of Christian ministers.
The applicant for admission virtually
pledges himself to soundness in the
faith and to a blameless life. If he
fails in either of these, he forfeits his
membership, and his exclusion does

him no wrong. To control its own
membership is no more usurpation of
judicial power in an association than in
a church. It is essential to the self-
preservation of both.

What, then, becomes of this charge
of clerical domination? It is sui:)ported
by not a single particle of proof, and
returns upon the accuser of his breth-
ren.

If we had any fears in this direction,
they would be disarmed by the admis-
sion of the writer, that, "The Kew
England churches, from the first, were
quick-scented to detect any disiDOsition
in their ministry to arrogate to them-
selves authority." Under this new
leadership they are in no danger of
losing the scent.

Whatever may have been true in
former times, — and we see little cause
of complaint in the j^ast, — whatever
may now be true of other organiza-
tions, the congregational ministry of
the present day, even that part of it
which adopts the Saybrook Platform,
lays no claim to authority, legislative
or judicial, over the churches, or their
jDastors. They exercise no such au-
thority.

As another specification under the
general charge of usurpation, the wri-
ter alleges that associations assume
the power to license men to preach,
which they have no right to do. Li-
cense is a legal term, and implies
authority in those who use it. It is
true we sometimes hear the word
license in connection with the doings
of an association. It is an unfortunate
word ; it is not Congregational, and
does not express the action of an asso-
ciation in the premises. Neither the
Cambridge nor the Saybrook Platform
uses the word. The latter says that
associations " shall have power of ex-
amining and recommending the candi-
dates of the ministry to the work
thereof." They give no license in any
proper sense of the word. They con-

38

fer no authority, they put no man into
the ministry. They simply inq.uire
into the qualifications of the candidate;
and if these are found such as promise
usefulness, they give him a certificate
of ai^prohatiou, and commend him to
the churches for trial of his gifts.
When a church elects him pastor, he is
put into the ministry, — not by the
association, but by a council, acting
by the request, and on behalf of the
church calling him.

"We admit the abstract right of a
church to elect whom they will to be
their pastor, with no advice or com-
mendation from any body. Still, any
church wishing to retain the fellowship
of neighboring churches, and to do
things decently and in order, would
naturally give great weight to the de-
liberate opinion and commendation of
an association of ministers. In all this
i t is difficult to discover any usurpation
of power.

The objections of the writer to Gen-
eral Associations are similar to those
which we have already noticed in their
relation to district associations. They
are all based upon the assumption that
the Congregational clergy are aiming
at authority which does not rightfully
belong to them. Individuals of this de-
scription may, perhaps, be found in the
body, — men who would lord it over
God's heritage, and abridge the liber-
ty of their brethren; the writer, for
aught we know, may be one of them.
But that this is the general character
of the Congregational ministry, is not
true. It is at the farthest possible re-
move from the truth. This is apjia^r-
ent from the whole history of our de-
nomination. E'ote but a single inci-
dent.

A few years since, an eminent yjas-
tor of one of our consociated churches
was thought by some of his brethren
to be departing from the faith, and
teaching dangerous errors. Instead
of meeting these alleged errors in the
open field, and vanquishing them with
the legitimate weapons of truth and
argument, they attemi:)ted to silence
the author by ecclesiastical authority.
Finding it impossil;)le to get the case
before the council of consociation, they
brought it to the General Association,
and requested that body to take action
upon it. The Association refused to
entertain the question, and disclaimed
all authority to put a minister upon
ti'ial. And this decision ought forever
to put to silence and to shame any man
who charges the Congregational clergy
with usurping judicial authority. Three
of the ablest, most persistent i)rosecu-
tors in this case were so much dissatis-
fied with our Congregational polity,
and our want of ecclesiastical power,
that they abandoned us, and sought
refuge imder the stronger government
of the Presbyterian Church.

About this time an abortive attempt
was made to form a stronger- organiza-
tion in the State, with more of the Pres-
byterian element. The ministers and
the churches preferred the good old
Congregational way, and would not
surrender the liberty wherewith Christ
had nuvde them free. One of the prime
movers of this scheme has since gone
into the Presbyterian Church. The
ministry and the churches have since
had peace, and the Lord has prospered
them abundantly. They can neither
be led nor driven into a hierarchy. The
whole tendency is strong in the oppo-
site direction.

Eev. WILLIAM WILBERFORCE
CHAPII^ was born in the quiet town
of Somers, Conn., Dec. 2, 1836. He
was the youngest child of most esti-
mable Christian parents (Oliver and
Sophronia C. Chapin), who, in his
infancy, consecrated him to the Lord
in baptism, and who, as eminently
fitted for the task, with harmony of
views and aims, cooperated, during the
period of liis childhood and youth, to
give him an intellectual and religious
culture adapted to prepare him for '
usefulness in maturer life, while in the
more extended circle of his relative?
he was brought under the influence of
those who sought his highest interests
for time and eternity.

His father, a graduate of Williams
College with distinction, and who was
for a time an instructor in this institu-
tion, was a superior scholar and a man
of noble mind and heart, and his chil-
dren, under his discipline and culture,
enjoyed more than ordinary ojipor
tunities for making improvement in
those particulars which, in combina-
tion, form a substantial, reliable char-
acter.

In many respects William resembled
his father, being modest, undemonstra-
tive, but profoundly thoughtful, and
chiefly fond of the solid and the useful,
and in all his conduct remarkably con-
scientious. The more he developed his
powers and tastes, and fixed his habits
and manners, the more was he like his
honored father in the judgment of those
who so well knew both the father and
his son.

From his early childhood, William
was affectionate, dutiful, generous
frank, confiding, yet always having a
mind of his own, and showing decision
in his opinions and preferences. Those

who knew him best loved him most,
while his extreme diflSdence and his
unwillingness to seem to be what he
was not in reality, sometimes prevented
him from appearing to strangers to the
best advantage.

In his riper years, with so sound a
judgment and a mind so thoroughly
disciplined, he was still as artless as a
child, and perfectly unobtrusive in so-
ciety. While always disposed to keep
himself out of sight, aud never show-
ing an affected bashfulness, when the
emergency came, he ever convinced
those who watched his course, that he
had within himself resources of mental
and moral strength of more than com-
mon amplitude, and that, in more ad-
vanced years, if permitted to live, he
would make his mark as a man of
ability.

His father, by a shocking casualty,
in the mysterious providence of God,
was removed from his earthly labors,
April 2, 1852, when this son was in the
sixteenth year of his age.

As a son and brother, Mr. Chapin
was exceedingly dutiful and affection-
ate.

Retiring as he was, he never failed
to make warm and fast friends of those
with whom he associated. In the aca'd-
emy, in college, and the theological
seminary, he endeared himself to his
classmates, and equally to his instruct-
ors. He was ever highminded, and
never resorted to a trick to secure his
own i^referment, while all felt that he
never wore any honors he had not
earned, and did not richly deserve.

Mr. Chapin was a thorough scholar,
and had a strong, clear, well-balanced
mind. He fitted for college at Monson
Academy, Mass., where he was indus-
trious and a promising student. At

40

Congregational Necrology.

[Jan.,

Williams College (where he graduated
in 1860), in all the departments of
study he acquitted himself with credit
and distinction.

At the seminary in Andover, he
stood high as a scholar and a Christian.
lie completed the course of instruction
there in 1863.

He loved more particularly the nat-
ural sciences, but succeeded in what-
ever, as a student, he attempted to
master. In his studies he was never
sxTperficial. For his beliefs he could
give the reasons, and, in giving them,
make them stand out in bold relief.

Before he left his native country, he
preached some four sermons in Somers,
where he was born and sjDent his child-
hood. He was not an orator, but his
sermons were eminently able; and he
gave evidence that he would rise to
distinction as a preacher.
• Our brother was ordained as a mis-
sionary to the heathen, in Somers,
Sept. 24, 1863. The members of the
council remarked, all of them, that
they had seldom borne a part in con-
ducting an examination, when the
candidate acquitted himself so satis-
factorily. He was sound in his theo-
logical viewe. At that time his account
of his religious experience, and his
reasons for entering the ministry and
going " far hence to the Gentiles," was
more than commonly interesting.

When he had once settled the ques-
tion that it was his duty to go to the
heathen in India, with perfect cheer-
fulness and great hopefulness he pro-
ceeded to lay all his plans in reference
to the great work before him.

Our brother made a profession of
religion and joined the Congregational
Churcli in Somers, Conn., Nov. 5, 1854.
His. piety was always scriptural, un-
assuming, self-denying, steady.

Mr. Chapin, two days after taking
upon himself his ordination vows, Sept.
26, was married to Miss Katherinc Is-
abella Hayes, of Derry, I^. II. Before

they left the country, the mother of
Mrs. Chapin, a woman of rare excel-
lence, was released by death from all
her mortal sufferings ; and before the
death of Mr. Chapin, her father, an
excellent Christian physician, followed
his companion to the sweet rest and
the noble employments of the saints
made perfect in gloi-y.

Our beloved young brother rajiidly
acquired a knowledge of the language
of the i^eople to whom he was sent, so
that he had taken charge of a station,
and commenced public preaching to
the natives, much to their acceptance.
He had, by his kind treatment of them,
and his pleasing manners, gained the
love and confidence of those degraded
sons and daughters of India, and he
was elated with the jirospect of being
able so soon to teach them more jDer-
fectly of" Christ and the resurrection."
His whole heart was in his work, and
the Lord was giving him great favor
in the eyes of the people, while the
older missionaries, who had met him,
felt that he was destined to be a very
successful laborer.

His station was at Pimplus, some-
thing like fifty miles from Ahmednug-
gei". He had been at Pimplus but
about three months, when he was smit-
ten down by the terrible disease known
as diphtheria, which terminated his
^ career so suddenly, March 22, 1865, at
the age of twenty-eight years.

When first taken ill, he had no idea
that he was to be very sick; and when
he wrote to Mr. and Mrs. Hazen at
Ahmednugger, — Mrs. Hazen being his
own sister, — that he was ill, he ob-
served that " he was better, and thought
that he should be soon quite well."
But he rapidly grew worse, and found
it necessary to start for Nugger with-
out delay, where he could obtain med-
ical treatment, and be, in all respects,
better cared for. He and his wife left
Pimplus at ten o'clock Monday night,
in a cart drawn by bullocks, travel-

ling only by night, in consequence of
the extreme heat during the clay, and
reached aSTugger Tuesday at about
midnight. We can imagine the sufter-
ings of our brother and sister during
that long, tedious ride, alone, and all
the "while his disease marching on to
do its worst upon him. When they
reached the house of brother Hazen,
he was much exhausted, and it was
soon ascertained that he was in a very
critical condition. He instantly was
under the best of medical treatment,
but without success.

Writes |)is sister: "When I found
that he could not swallow after the
nitrate was applied, my heart sunk
within me, for I felt that the last
means had failed, and that we must
give him up. We could see that he
failed."

It seems that our brother had his
re^rsou till the last, though his mind
for a few moments now and then, may
have been somewhat clouded. In the
near prospect of death, he had some
such view of Christ and heaven as
Stephen had, just as his spirit was
quitting the house of clay, — something
altogether in advance of mere faith.

When his wife asked him, " Are you
willing to go, if God calls ? " he an-
swered very cheerfully, " Yes." When
she asked him, " Can you trust in
Christ? " he responded, " Yes ; I have
always trusted him, and he will not
forsake me now." To all his kindred
and friends he sent the most aftecting
messages, urging them to be faithful.
To bis wife he said, " I want you to
work with all your strength, because
the messenger is taking me away."

To three of his classmates, to whom
he was much attached, his message
was : " I didn't think the messenger
would take me away from this work
so soon. Be very faithful in the Mas-
ter's service." His last message was
to the students at Andover. •' Tell
them to cultivate a missionary spirit.

and send some one to take my place,
because the messenger has come to
take me home."

Writes his sister, Mrs. Hazen: "As
the heavenly world drew near, he said,
' I am going to Jesus. I see him now.
I see all the people about him. How
beautiful everything is. The mansion
is ready, the door is open ; let me go.
Jesus has a crown for me; I want to
take it. You must let me go.' After
a prayer by brother Hazen, having
said Amen twice, he wanted us to sing
. ' There is a land of pure delight,' and
he sung the first line with us. Mr.
Hazen repeated, ' Jesus, lover of my
soul,' when he said, ' Oh! that is just
what they are singing up there.' After
this, he soon fell asleep in Jesus."

Writes Mr. Hazen: " We buried him
at 7, A.M., the 2.3d, the grave being very
near that of Miss Farrar."

What a beautiful, glorious death,
more like a translation than a death!
We seem to catch a glimpse of his
apotheosis, his reception among the
angels and the redeemed from this world
gone into heaven before him. His
death must be a most powerful argu-
ment for the cause of Christ in India.
It was his master-passion to serve
Christ, and he is serving now and
will forever serve him, without any
imperfection, in his higher life in glory,
where he will sutler no fatigue, where
the night gathers not around her cur-
tains, and where winged angels and
.saints fold not their pinions that they
may rest from their labors.

Eev. JAMES BOUTWELL died
in Sanbornton, Is^. H., April 21, 1865,
aged fifty.

He was born in L3mdeborough, IS".
II., May 14, 1814, son of JSTehemiah
and Elizabeth Boutwell. His paternal
grandfather was Dr. Benjamin Jones,
of Lyndeborough, a physician of some

celel:)rity, whose native place was Ip-
swich, Mass.

^Ir. Boutwell had seven brothers
and one sister older than himself, and
two sisters younger.

There were no remarkable incidents
in his early life worthy of record. He
was hopefully converted when about
fifteen years of age, and while a mem-
ber of Phillips Academy, Andover,
Mass. One circumstance connected
with his conversion deserves notice, as
it doubtless influenced his whole s^^b-
sequent life, and gave character to his-
sermons. His conversion took place
during the pastorate of the Rev. Milton
Badger, D. D., then settled over the
South Church in Andover, and during
a pi'otracted meeting, when there was
a great outpouring of the Spirit of God,
and the whole town seemed moved.
Dr. Lyman Beecher preached a sermon,
on the sovereignty of G-od, and after
sermon he stepped down upon the
pulpit stairs, and addressed the im-
penitent. That sermon and address,
by the blessing of God, brought Mr.
Boutwell into the light and liberty of
the gospel. Often, during his subse-
quent life, did he speak of that sermon
and address with lively gratitude.

When he became a minister, he de-
lighted to dwell upon those great doc-
trines of grace, so unwelcome to the
unrenewed heart. His presentation of
these themes was lucid, strong, and
convincing ; it was in the " demonstra-
tion of the spirit and with power."
These were among his strongest and
most effective sermons.

He entered Dartmouth College in
1832, and graduated in 1836. He ranked
well as a scholar, but was not what
some term a genius. He was not
distinguished for brilliant, sparkling
thoughts, but for sound, practical,
common-sense ideas. He was a dili-
gent student, and acquitted himself
with credit in the recitation-room.
He entered the Theological Semi-

nary at Andover in the fall of 1836,
and graduated in 1840, having spent,
in the meantime, one year in teaching
at Dunkirk, N". Y. On April 10, 1838,
he was married to Miss Mary P.,
daughter of Deacon Pascal Abbott, of
Andover, Mass. Their union was most
happy, and their home was ever the
abode of hospitality. They were blessed
with ten children, nine of whom, to-
gether with their mother, still survive,
to mourn the loss of a devoted, affec-
tionate husband, and a tender, loving
father.

Soon after he graduated at Andover,
he received a call from a church and
society in Massachusetts, to settle with
them in the work of the ministry.
This call was presented by the com-
mittee of the society in person, and
when Mr. Boutwell read it, he re-
marked to the committee, " that he
thought the salary stipulated was in-
sufficient." The committee replied, in
substance: "We know the salary is
small, and smaller than it would have
been, had we not known that both
your father and father-in-law are well
oft", and we thought you could do with
less on that account." Mr. Boutwell
replied: "If I am to look to my father
and father-in-law for a portion of my
support, I should choose to go to some
poor parish, where they were not able
to pay more." The committee were
still anxious that he should accept
" suc/i a call"' and even urged Deacon
Abbott to use his influence with Mr.
Boutwell to induce him to accept.
Deacon Abbott would not become a
jiarty to a transaction so dishonorable
and despicable. Mr. Boutwell was so
indignant, and justly so, that he de-
clined even to give a written reply to
the call.

Ministers might well pray from such
a parish " Good Lord, deliver us." For
the honor and credit of parishes, it is
to be hoped this nameless one is the
only one in all the land that would

deliberately be guilty of so unworthy
and discreditable an act.

Nov. 4, 1841, he was ordained and
installed pastor of the chm-ch and so-
ciety in Brentwood, N". H., where' he
continued till May, 1852.

Under the ministry of Mr. Boutwell,
the church at Brentwood prospered,
and from time to time additions were
made to its numbers. Two seasons
of especial religious intei'est were en-
joyed by the church during the pas-
torate of Mr. Boutwell. The results
of ministerial labor and fidelity are
not all visible results, nor can they be
summed up and put into statistical
tables, nor does the "good seed" sown
always sjiring up at once and bring
forth fruit.

Mr. Boutwell was greatly beloved
by his people at Brentwood, both as a
man and a minister; and greatly did
they regret his departure from them.
Tokens of their good-will and esteem
followed him to his new field of labor.
During his ministry at Sanbornton, he
was repeatedly permitted to revisit
Brentwood, and always with great
pleasure to himself, and not less so to
the people of his former chai'ge. He
was with them for the last time in Jan-
uary of the present year [1865] when
he spent the Sabbath, preached, and re-
ceived a number to the communion of
the church.

He was dismissed from his pastoral
relation to the church in Brentwood,
at his own request, May 12, 1852, and
repaired at once to Sanbornton, where
he commenced his labors upon the fol-
lowing Sabbath. The church and so-
ciety, after hearing him a few Sabbaths,
gave him a call, which he accepted, and
he was installed June 24, 1852.

The attachment of this people to him
continued unabated to the end of his
life. He received to the communion of
the church in Sanbornton about sixty
persons, twenty of Avhom united with
the church, on the profession of their

faith, m 1858. As a preacher, Mr. Bout-
well was sound in doctrine, sincere,
earnest, and affectionate. When he
discoursed upon the great doctrines of
religion, he spoke as one who had felt
the transforming power of these d^oc-
trines upon his own heart, and coxild
commend them to the serious, earnest
consideration of the impenitent, in
words weighty and powerful.

His statements of truth were clear
and forcible, and his arguments well
sustained by apt scripture quotations.

He had the faculty of securing the
attention of his hearers in an uncom-
mon degree. As a pastor, Mr. Bout-
well was diligent and faithful, winning
the entire confidence of those with
whom he conversed. He cared for
the spiritual welfare of his flock with
earnest, deep solicitude. He was es-
teemed a brother beloved by his breth-
ren in the ministry. He was social,
cordial, courteous, and gentlemanly in
all his intercourse with others.

He was a Christian patriot, and
greatly did he love his country. Pub-
licly and privately, at home and abroad,
his voice was heard, sustaining the
government in its measures to crush
the rebellion. The banner of the cross
was first in his esteem, and next " the
stars and stripes." Through all the
vicissitudes of the w\ar, he was hopeful,
if not sanguine, of the results of the
conflict; but his trust was in God, not
in man. He greatly loved and revered
our martyr President, and when the
news of his assassination was flashed
across the land, it was feared it would
be more than Mr. Boutwell could bear,
in his weak and prostrate condition ; for
he was rapidly nearing the time of his
own departure. When the morning
papers came to hand, he, as usual,
earnestly inquired for the news. Mrs.
Boutwell, knowing that the terrible
fact could not be kept from him, asked,
if he was prepared to hear bad new^s.
" What is if? " said he. '• The Presi-

dent was assassinated last night." Af-
ter a moment's pause, he said, "The
Lord reigns." In his mind, the wel-
fare of oiir country was so closely
identified with the cause of Christ, that
they seemed almost inseparable. " The
Lord reigns," therefore his cause is
safe; if his cause is safe, our country
must be safe also. This seemed to be
his reasoning. In that thought he
rested calmly.

After Mr. Boutwell's health had
been failing for some months, he felt
constrained to diminish his labors, and
preached but once upon each Sabbath.
This he hoped to be able to do for
some time; but he soon found it too
great a tax upon his strength, and upon
the first Sabbath in March he met his
people i^ublicly for the last time. A
dying man, he presented to his beloved
chi;rch the symbols of the Saviour's
dying love. It was a scene never to
be forgotten by those who witnessed
it. The solemnity was great, and al-
most oppressive ; tears floAved from
every eye, as that dying pastor gave
his parting counsels to his church, and
toolN: his leave of them. Upon that
Sabbath morning, it pleased the Divine
Redeemer to reveal himself in a won-
derful manner to his faithful servant.
The scene was to that dying man a
rich foretaste of the peace and glory
of the heavenly world. ^^Tever did the
Saviour appear so surpassingl}'' lovely
and glorious. Ilis presence seemed to
fill the sick chamber with heavenly
radiance. From that hour, he seemed
wlioliy weaned from,earth; his anxiety
in relation to himself and his dear fiim-
ily were all gone; he could, and did,
leave himself and family to the care
and keeping of the Lord his God; and
to the closing hour of his life, his " peace
was as a river."'

Dr. MATTHIAS SPALDIJif G died

at Amherst, Il^ew Hampshire, May 22,

1865, aged ninetj^-five years and eleven
months.

lie was the ninth son and thirteenth
cliild of Colonel Simeon Spalding, of
Chelmsford, Mass., who was of the
fourth generation in descent from Ed-
ward Spalding, of Braintree, a freeman
of the Colony in 1640, who came from
England in 1630-33. His mother, Abi-
gail Wilson, a second wife, having
cliildren by a previous husband, was a
Johnson, of the fourth generation in
descent from Capt. Edward Johnson,
of Woburn, who came from Kent Coun-
ty, England, in 1630.

Of slight figure and feeble health.
Dr. Spalding was advised to seek a
liberal education, after he was of age.
He accoi'dingly commenced his stud-
ies at Westford Academy, under the
tuition of Prof. Hedge, and entered
Harvard College a year and a half in
advance, graduating in 1798. Having
adopted the jjrofession of medicine, he
studied with Drs. "Waterhouse, of Cam-
bridge, and Holyoke, of Salem, going
to London, to complete his education,
early in 1801.

On his return, Sejotember, 1802, he
began to practise at Chelmsford, re-
moving to Amherst in 1806, where he
secured a widely extended business.
With natural tact, and superior knowl-
edge of the healing art, he coml)ined
an admirable address and gentleness
of manners: qualities which made his
presence and counsel most welcome in
the sick-room. But it is not of his
acknowledged eminence as a physician
and surgeon, that we now wisli to fur-
nisli a memorial. His example was
not less valuable in the relations
which he sustained to society as a
Christian citizen. Here he was dis-
tinguished as a friend of education,
and of all generous plans for the ben-
efit of the community.

His wife was Rebecca Wentworth,
daughter of Hon. Joshua Atherton, a
woman of a refined and superior na-

ture, iinder whose direction his house,
for more than tifty years, was the
abode of an elegant and liberal hos-
pitality. Many of his students found .
a home in his family; and, in after
years, it was interesting to observe
the uniform respect with which they
spoke of the valuable instruction and
the elevating influence of this place of
study.

Dr. Spalding first became a mem-
ber of the Congregational church at
Chelmsford, and on transferring his
relation to the church in Amherst, in
1817, he was elected deacon, — an office
which he held with great acceptance
till the end of his life. He was a stead-
fast friend of the ministry, decided in
his attachment to evangelical doctrines,
and "a liberal supporter of all Christian
institutions. He loved the peace of the
church, but he loved its purity more.
In the controversies attending the
Unitarian defection, he was deeply in-
terested, giving a uniform and hearty
support to the ancient faith. In mat-
ters of discipline, he performed for
the church many services, demanding
sound judgment and delicacy of treat-
ment, with such wisdom as to com-
mand the respect of all concerned.
He loved the sanctuary, and, amidst
the pressing engagements of his largest
practice, was a regular attendant on
pubfic worship. He was thoughtful of
the spiritual welfare of his patients,
commending them in his daily devo-
tions to the care of the great Physi-
cian. He often prayed with the sick,
and on suitable occasions directed their
thoughts to the sacred duties and con-
soling truths of the gospel. He was
fond of children, and had rare fac-
ulty in engaging their attention and
winning their confidence. He was also
the friend, and often the counselor, of
young men. Few persons have been
so widely esteemed, and none more
safely trusted.

His tastes were pure, and he de-

lighted in the wholesome pleasures of
agricultural life. His great age must
be attributed, in part, to his careful
abstinence from aU injurious indul-
gences. He was not abstemious, but
temperate in all things. With his ad-
vance in life and the removal of all his
early associates and contemporaries
(having survived all his classmates but
two), he was favored by the attentions
of many younger friends, and the
thoughtful ministrations of a large
circle of grateful kindred.

He was able to read the Bible till
the ninety-fourth year of his life, after
which his faculties sensibly failed. Un-
der pain and multiplied infirmities, he
was afraid he should be impatient and
do wrong. But his end was peaceful.
He was a good ^ihysician, and more,
" a lover of hospitality, a lover of good
men, sober, just, holy, temperate ;
holding fast the faithful word as he
had been taueht."

Rev. JOEL RANJ^EY ARJs^OLD

died in Chester, N. H., Jul}^ 4, 18(55,
aged seventy-one years, two months,
and nine days.

He was born in Westminster, Yt.,
April 25, 1794, sou of Seth and Esther
(Ranney) Arnold. His father was a
soldier in the Revolutionary War near-
ly three years, made a profession of
religion at the age of eighty-nine, and
lived to be nearly a hundred and two
years old.

His youth was sjient on his father's
farm till the occurrence of an accident,
by which the elbow of his right arm
was dislocated, and the arm badly
broken both above and below the el-
bow. This event wholly and i:)erma-
nently disabled him for nianual labor,
and led to his obtaining an education.
He fitted for college at the academies
in Pawlet, Yt., and Walpole, K. H.,
and entered Middlebury in 1811, but
left in 1814, on account of poor health.
Subsequently he studied medicine with

[Jan.,

Dr. Joel Badger, of Westminster, and
Dr. Hunt, of Northampton, Mass., and
practised about a year at Westminster
and Grafton. He then studied theology
with his brother, Eev. Seth S. Arnold,
of Alstcad, N. H., and was licensed by
the Monadnock Association in 1818.

He was ordained pastor of the Con-
gregational church in Chester, N. H.,
March 8, 1820. Rev. S. S. Arnold
preached the sermon. He had a very
successful ministry at Chester. Revi-
vals occurred, and a hundred and ten
persons were added to the church. In
1824, he received the honorary degree
of A. M. from Middlebury, and also
from Dartmouth. He was dismissed
31 March, 1830, and from May to De-
cember of that year preached in Win-
chester, N. H. He was installed at
Waterbury. Ct., 26 January, 1831.
Rev. Leonard Bacon, D. D., preached
the sermon. From this j)astorate he
was dismissed 7 June, 1836; and was
installed 15 June, 1836, in Colchester,
Ct. Rev. Laurens P. Hickok, D. D.,
preached the sermon. Here, too, he
had a successful ministry. The largest
number admitted to the church, in any
one year of its existence, was in 1839.
He was dismissed 17 July, 1819, and
then spent a year or two in Westmin-
ster, during which time he was instru-
mental in the organization of a Con-
gregational church at Bellows Falls,
to which he preached a considerable
time without compensation. From
September, 1851, to December, 1853,
he was acting pastor in Middlebury,
Ct. In December, 1854, he was in-
stalled pastor of the South Congrega-
tional Church in Coventry, Ct. Rev.
Anson S. xVtwood preached the ser-
mon. His Engagement was for five
years, but he continued to su2)ply the
pulpit till April, 1860, when, having
completed forty years of ministerial
service, he resigned his pastorate. He
supplied the pulpit for a year in Vas-
sal boro'. Me., and then went to live in

Chester, N. H. His formal dismissal
from Coventry did not take place till
10 September, 1862.

His published writings are, an Ad-
dress at the Opening of a Cemetery
in Colchester; Strictures on a Sermon
preached in Chester on " Revivals of
Religion in Jerusalem; " a Sermon on
Chance and its Design, preached at the
burial of three persons who perished
in the burning of a dwelling-house ; and
two articles in the "New Engiander."

He married, 4 June, 1821, Julia Ar-
nold, of Hallowell, Me. (born in New
London, Ct., 27 June, 1706, and died
21 March, 1858). By her he had Joel
Ranney, b. 2 May, 1823 ; John Loomis,
b. 27 May, 1824, d. 27 June, 1857; Juha
Maria, b. 7 January, 1826, d. 3 March,

Mr. THOS. AUGUSTUS LEWIS,
a licentiate of the class of 1862, of
Bangor Seminary, died at Phillipston,
Mass., July 9, 1865.

He was the son of Deacon Milton
and Maria Lewis, of Ware, Mass.,
where he was born June 13, 1835. He
became in early life a subject of re-
newing grace, and at the age of four-
teen made a public j^rofession of his
trust in the Saviour. He lived a con-
scientious Christian life in childhood.
He was very retiring and self-distrust-
ful, yet he early desired to devote his
life to the Christian ministry. During
his course preparatory for college, this
desire steadily increased, and he never
faltered in his purpose to become a

herald of the cross, although often he
had an oppressive sense of his insuffi-
ciency.

In Amherst College he was a faithful,
earnest student, profoundly respected
by all his associates. He graduated in
185y, and entered Bangor Seminary in
the same year. The writer of this
tribute was familiar with him there.
He was strictly conscientious in the
discharge of all seminary duties. After
graduating, in 1862, he supplied the
pulpit of the church in West Brook-
fleld, Mass., for several months, with
much acceptance, after which he la-
bored efficiently in the service of the
Christian Commission, in the army of
the Cumberland.

In March, 1864, he commenced his
labors with the feeble church in Shutes-
bury, Mass. Here, as elsewhere, he
soon won the earnest allections of the
peoj)le. His unassuming piety, his
godly walk and conversation, and his
ati'ectionate bearing in all his labors,
gained the esteem of all. He toiled in
the Sabbath-school cause, laboring in
the session of the school on the Sab-
bath, which is quite too much for any
minister, with the other labors of the
day. After he had been with his peo-
ple a year, they cordially requested
him to continue with them.

On the 3d of July, he received tidings
of the death of a beloved aunt, who
had died at his father's house in Ware.
On the morning of the 4th, he started
from Shutesbury for Ware, to be pres-
ent at the funeral, after which he went
to Phillipston, to visit the one who
would soon have united with him, as
a wife, in the toils and cares of minis-
terial life. At her home a sudden
sickness prostrated his system, which
had been reduced by overmuch work;
and on the 9th, the Salibath day, he
closed his brief course of unwearied
labor, and entered upon the eternal
Sabbath, the rest that " remaineth for
the people of God." His remains were

taken to Ware, and his bereaved par-
ents consigned them to the charnel
house in deep anguish, yet with the
sustaining' assurance that he will have
a glorious jjart in the " resurrection of
the just and the life everlasting."

The people of his charge deeply
mourn his loss. He and they were
looking forward to the services of or-
dination and installation.

It is no exaggeration to say, that he
was a man of great singleness of pur-
pose and consistency of life. He has
lived a long life in a few years,

Kev. CHAS. HEi^RY PEIRCE
was born in Peru, Mass., Nov. 29,
1822. His father, Henry Peirce, Esq.,
was a thrifty farmer in that "•mountain
town," and was the second husband of
Charles's mother. Her father was Ca-
leb Cushman, of Goshen, Mass., a lineal
descendant from the sixth generation
of Robert Cushman, " the right-hand
man of the Pilgrims." She died when
Charles was quite young, but he cher-
ished her memory with fond atiection.
He remained at home until about seven-
teen years of age, when, by the advice
and generosity of his half-brother. Rev.
Amos Dresser, he was induced to enter
on a collegiate course of study. He
fitted for college, and graduated at
Oberlin, where he stood high in his
class, in 1845. He was hojijefully con-
verted at Oberlin, the year after going
there. He taught two years, and then
pui'sued his theological studies at An-
dover, and graduated in 1850.

Mr. Peirce was of an active tem-
perament, earnest as a Christian, fond
of labor, a capital singer, and good
teacher in the academic or Sabbath
school. He found a good place of labor
in the West Parish of Andover, which
he occupied as a teacher of a Bible
class, though not to the neglect of the
severer studies in theology. This par-
ish, being destitute of a preacher, and

he having become acquainted with the jmony from Knoxville, we have the same
people and they with liim, gave him clear and unanimous expression of his
a call to the pastorate. In five weeks fidelity and success, and of the marked
after graduating, he was ordained and ^esteem in which he was held, in these

installed as pastor of this West Parish
in Andover, Oct. 9, 1850. Eev. Dr
Towne, then of Lowell, preached the
sermon.

He was married, Oct. 29, 1850, to Ma-
ry R., daughter of Deacon A. Bigelow,
of JS^orth Braintree, and grand-daughter
of Gen. Lee, of Barre, by whom he had
four children. He remained at West
Andover five years, when he was in-
duced to accept an invitation to go
west. With great reluctance he asked
dismission from this first field of min-
isterial labor, and from the flock of his
early love, — a love that was mutual.

The council, called to advise in refer-
ence to his dismission, recorded the
following minute, as their estimate of
him as a friend and co-pastor: "The
council desire, for themselves, to ex-
press to Bro. Peirce their personal and
Christian atl'ection for him, as a faithful
and genial friend, and as a Christian
minister of warm and steady zeal,
and they freely commend him to the
churches of Christ as an earnest,
persuasive, evangelical, and spiritual
preacher, and a winning and assiduous
pastor ; and also that there exists the
most kind and fraternal feeling on the
part of the church and society."

Mr. Peirce removed to Illinois, July,
1855, and remained in that State six
years. He was first settled at Kewanee,
Henry County. Here he entered upon
the pioneer work of organizing a
church, and building a house of wor-
ship, and was largely esteemed and
successful in this service. He remain-
ed here three years, and then, for a
time, preached in Neponset, Bureau
County. March 1, 1860, he went to
Knoxville, where he remained eighteen
months, preaching in the Congrega-
tional church, and at the same time
teaching' in the Ilie'h School. In the testi-

words: "His services here have been
very acceptable, and his influence on
the community such as able preaching,
enforced by a godly example, is calcu-
lated to produce." Here his compan-
ion was suddenly removed by death.
Jan. 1, 18G1, leaving him with the care
of three little children. One babe, a
daughter, had died July 30, 1859, aged
five months. Their remains, with that
of a son, who died June 28, 18G2, aged
two years, were afterwards re-buried in
the new cemetery at Millbury, Mass.
In Sept. 1861, he was invited to supply
the puljiit of the Second Congregational
Church of Millbury. He entered upon
this new field of labor with his accus-
tomed zeal and self-sacrificing assidu-
ity, and soon ingratiated himself into
the warm affections of an appreciative
l^eople. He entered with them into
the good work of repairing their house
of worshiji, gathering a large congre-
gation, with a flourishing Sabbath
school, over which he watched with a
good shepherd's care. He was installed
their pastor, Oct. 22, 1862. Prof Park,
of Andover, preached the sermon.

May 21, 1863, he was again married
to Elizabeth Waters Goff'e, grand-
daughter of Rev. Joseph Gofie, who
was for nearly forty years the minister
in Millbury.

In this new home, he seemed to begin
life anew. He grew fast in the public
estimation. His spirit of kindness and
candor had a purifying power over
those with whom he came in contact,
and yet he was i^lain, pungent, as well
as practical, in the i)resentation of the
truth. His whole soul was in sympathy
with the General Government in sup-
pressing the anomalous Rebellion. In
the darkest days of the fearful^struggle,
his faith faltered not. He mourned,
indeed, with those that mourned in the

loss of loved ones, but, in the hoped-
for good, saw one reason, at least, for
the sacrifice. He was possessed of a
public spirit. As an old and experi-
enced teacher, he loved the cause of
education, while as Chairman of tlie
Board of Education in Millbury, he
labored hard and wisely to secure all
the high and marked advantages that
belong to the system in his native State.
As was his duty, he visited all the
schools in the town, with a deep interest
in their welfare. All the children knew
him and loved him. ■

Mr. Peirce was slight in form, above
the medium height, of bright eye, and
hopeful, elastic si)irits. He was a ready
writer and speaker, of good personal
address and elocution. He was Cal-
vinistic in faith and catholic in spirit,
esteemed by all denominations of
Christians, and loved, as few men are
loved, by his numerous personal friends,
especially by those in the ministry. He
sought not himself, but others. He was
willing to spend and be spent for the
Master, and was growing in the esti-
mation of all that knew him, when, by
reason of over-taxing labors, growing
out of the excitements of the spring of
1865, the pulmonary disease, — which
some years before had manifested it-
self in hemorrhage from the lungs, but
from which he had largely recovered, —
appeared again, wasting his energies,
indicating to himself, and admonishing
>all that he must rest from his labors.
His people kindly gave him this rest.
But so hopeful was he (suftering no
pain), that he seemed not to realize
that he was passing away. In a com-
munication addressed him at Canada
"West, where, in the home of an eminent
physician, and an intimate friend of his
wife's family, he had gone for this rest,
we have these words of the Chairman
of the Parish Committee : " If fervent
prayers and deep emotions of sympa-
thy could avail, we are sure you would
have experienced relief ere this. As

the shepherd of tliis people, thou know-
est that they love thee, and how can
they give thee up? " His strength de-
clined, and he returned home two weeks
before Ijis death. He continued, how-
ever, to take exercise in the open air
until the day before the sad event, and
yet hoped in hiuLself that he should
recover, until two or three hours before
his departure. When informed as to
his condition, by his wife, he expressed
himself as now sure that his end was
near.

" I am ready," he says, " for my de-
parture, if it is the will of the Father."
In low whisjDers he dictates to his com-
panion his wishes as to his children,
the funeral, and his burial, as quietly
and calmly as if going to sleep, and
says, " I have been cheerful and happy
from the first, hopeful that I should
recover, yet fully prepared for any
event. I feel that my hand is within
that of my heavenly Father, and that
He is leading me along. Tell my
friends, that I passed away trusting in
Christ fully, and leaning on the Al-
mighty ai-m. Tell the parish, it has
been the longing desire of my heart to
recover, that I might serve them more
faithfully than I have done. God has
ordered it otherwise. I urge them to
cling together, to act harmonioixsly, to
love the truth, and walk in it. I thank
them for their great kindness and
forbearance toward me. May God's
blessing rest upon them, is the prayer
of their pastor. And to the dear breth-
ren of the Church, my especial message
is, ' Pray that the blessed Comforter
may come and abide with you, and add
to your numbers. It is the desire of
your joastor that j ou all may be found
Avith him in the fold of the Great Shep-
herd.' " Then bidding each and all of
his dear family farewell, on Thursday,
the 5th of October, 1865, he fell asleep,
aged nearly forty-three years.

The funeral was attended on the Sab-
bath foUowinff. The crowded church

impressively draped; the hushed still-
ness interrupted only by sighs and
tears, — especially when his parting
message was read, — each and all ut-
tered how much he was loved, and how
deeply his people felt their loss. Appro-
priate and imj)ressive addresses were
made, and fervent prayers were offered
by neighboring ministerial brethren.
And then they bore all that remained
of earth to his last resting j^lace; " sor-
rowing most of all that they should
see his face no more."

Rev. SILAS WILDER of Herki-
mer, N". Y., died Oct. 29, 1865, after a
short sickness, by paralysis and pros-
tration, aged 77 years.

Mr. Wilder was born in Jaffrey,
Cheshire Co., New Hampshire. He
labored on a farm in his native place,
and also in Keene, till he was of age,
after which he earnestly sought and
obtained a public education. He was
graduated at Dartmouth College at
the commencement of 1818. He stud-
ied theology with the Rev. Z. S.
Barstow, of Keene, and was licensed
to preach by the Monadnock Associa-
tion of 1821. He soon after went to

Ticonderoga, N. Y, where he was set-
tled in the ministry. In 1822, he mai--
, ried Mary, daughter of Noah Cooke,
Esq., of Keene. After laboring some
years in Ticonderoga, he was trans-
ferred to the church in Lewis, N. Y. It
is not remembered by the writer how
long he continued at Lewis, nor in
what other places he preached in the
State of New York.

But after some years of faithful la-
bor, he returned to the farm of his
father-in-law in Keene, where he re-
sided till his wife died; after which
he married Mrs. Olive Draper, of Her-
kimer, N. Y., who was originally, it is
believed, from Keene. He lived with
his second wife some thirteen years,
preaching occasionally in the vicinity.
Two years since, his second wife died,
and he was left again in solitude. But
he sustained himself as best he could,
and with cheerful submission to the
will of God.

He wrote able sermons, and preach-
ed with great earnestness, in accord-
ance with the doctrines of the Bible,
and the Westminster Assembly's com-
peud of doctrine. His remains were
brought to Keene for interment by the
side of his former wife, and in the
tomb of her father.

Upon our Polity, we find but one work
published since oiu- last issue ; but that one,
Mr. Buck's Treatise^ on Massachusetts Ec-
clesiastical Law, is to be a standard.

The author of this admirable, and long-
needed worki says, in his preface, " In this
volume I have attempted to collect, and ar-
range in convenient form for reference, the
Ecclesiastical La-ws of Massachusetts,
which lie scattered in profusion among the
Statutes and Reports of the Commonwealth,"

Buck, of the Suffolk Bar. Boston : Gould & Lincoln,
59 Washington Street. New York : Sheldon & Co.
Cincinnati : Geo. S. Elancliard & Co. ISCO. pp. 310.

— and most faithfully and thoroughly has he
executed his task. The work is divided into
eighteen chapters covering 229 pages ; an
Appendix of 34 pages containing the statutes
on the subjects treated, a full Index, and then
ten pages occupied with an alphabetical " Ta-
ble of Cases," of great value, and requiring
patient toil to prepare it.

This work must be cordially welcomed by
all the citizens of Massachusetts, at least, who
take any interest in ecclesiastical aflPairs. Im
portant cases in other states are cited, and the
decisions of courts are given. The author is
a Congregationalist; and writes from his own
stand-point ; but he gives the public tlic laws

as tlicy are, alike applicable to all sects, be-
nevolent and eleemosynary societies, &c. &c.,
us no one but a thoroughly read lawyer could
give them. K various societies we know of
had had and read this work, it would have
saved them much money beside heart-burn-
ings. Foot-notes and pertinent references
abound ; and we are not of course surprised
to find our own Quarterly so often named.
The book is far enough from being dry and
unattractive. The author's style and methods
of treating the ditferent topics are both pleas-
ing and instructive; and the reader who begins
the book will be likely to i-ead it through.
The publishers have done their part with their
usual good taste ; and altogether the book is
one of unusual interest and value.

Of publications having a historical

value. Dr. Ray Palmer's " Reminiscences of
our Work for Fifteen Years, "^ is a memorial
of the history of his church during its life of
that period, written in his own beautiful and ear-
nest style, with historical statements interwoven
with thorough religious thought. The church
(we gather) was organ^ed in April, 1850,
and Dr. Palmer was installed pastor in the
following December. The enterprise was out
of debt in five years, and is now worth a very
•valuable property, not less than $12,000 hav-
ing been given for benevolence, besides lega-
cies of more than $50,000. Sabbath and
Mission schools have been sustained ; three
young men furnished to the ministry. The
church now numbers three hundred and one
members ; and its Sabbath school four hun-
dred and forty-eight.

Mr. Hosmer's Centennial Discourse

at Nantucket^ was preached in the lecture-
room which had been completed as a church
a hundred years before. It is full of facts,
excellently told, and skillfully applied. We
hope that all our chm-ches will heed the fact
that a " centennial observance occurs but once
in a lifetime."

John Ward Dean has had a few

copies of his " Brief Memoir of Rev. Giles
Firmin,"^ printed in pamphlet form from
the type set for that capital publication, the
" New England Historical and Genealogical
Register." Mr. Dean's indefatigable and pa-
tient industry in historical pursuits is too well
known to need mention. This memoir of one
of the non-conformists, who spent years in
America, is exceedingly valuable to the stu-
dent of Puritan history. The Register itself
ought to be in the hands of every Congrega-
tionalist curious as to our past history.

Dr. Bouton's* commemoration of

his forty years' ministry has come to us since
our last issue. It is very valuable histori-
cally ; frank, earnest, and full of delicate
touches. He has welcomed to the church
seven hundred and sixty-six ; baptized four
hundred and twenty-one children ; attended a
hundred and lifty-nine councils ; preached on
forty-four special public occasions ; preached
written sermons three thousand five hundred
and sixty times, and unwritten, about thirty-
three hundred ; in the first twenty-three years
lost but one Sabbath by ill-health, and but one
in the last seventeen years. He has seen three
churches born of his ; two hundred and six
members die. Not a male member of the
church when he was settled is now living ;
but nobody who knows this father will believe
that he is growing old.

The " Statement of the Third Con-
gregational Church in Portland,"^ in the diffi-
culty regarding Mr. Walton's views, forcibly
presents their side of the question. We pro-
pose to give an historical view of the whole
matter at some time.

the republication of a discourse preached ncnr-
ly fifty years ago ; sound in doctrine, and
throwing up defences against the then di-
rection of attack ; rather too unqualifiedly
asserting " indej)endency " to satisfy us ; but
in the main, good sense.

Dr. Putnam's two discourses on the

"Fiftieth Anniversary of his Ordination," ' are
as good as this beloved father himself. His-
tory and religion are both in them. We sup-
pose that the proceedings at the visit of his
ministerial brethren on the occasion of his
retirement from active service in October last,
with his farewell sermon, will also be pub-
lished.

Dr. Spring's Reminiscences,^ record-
ed at tlie age of eighty years, make a delight-
ful book. He speaks freely of himself and of
his parentage, of his early experiences and ma-
turer labors, and of the great movements in
which he took a part. Historically, his re-
collections throw light upon the revivals
which excited such differences forty years
ago ; the Taste and Exercise schemes ; the
Taylor and Tyler controversy ; the Homo
Mission, Foreign Mission and Bible Societies ;
the disruption of the Presbyterian Church; the
founding of the Seminary at Andover, — all
of which are interesthig to Congregationalists.
Indeed, born of such parents, however strong
a Presbyterian one may become, he must ex-
hibit the old spirit. In this case as in so
many others, Presbyterianism has drawn life
from our ranks.

the first and second. He still draws from orig-
inal sources, and still makes a narrative of sur-
passing interest upon an old theme. Our tra-
ditional view of Henry VIII. we are afraid is
utterly gone. These volumes bring the story
down to the time of that monarch's death,
and cover a formative period in the English
reformation. The dissolution of the monas-
teries occurs in this period. While these
volumes are needed by every student of his-
tory, they are especially valuable to men of
our own faith. That the work is published in
beautiful style, is a great comfort.

We are sorry to see Dr. Buslinell's

" The Vicai'ious Sacrifice." ^ He has here
distinctly avowed and painfully supported
tluit denial of the expiatory character of the
work of Christ, which was hinted at in the
19th sermon of "Christ and his Salvation."
He denies expiation, and makes Christ's work
to consist in its moral effect on the heart.
He denies that there is any trace in the Scrip-
tures of satisfitction for sin ; and makes justi-
fication equivalent to making rigliteous. Vi-
carious sacrifice in his view is merely sym-
pathy. Christ's " bearing our sins " means,
" that Christ bore them in his feeling ;" an-
gels " are in exactly the same vicarious spirit
and suffering way of love ; " and so are " all
souls redeemed." " He suffered simply what
was incidental to his love, and the works to
which love prompted, just as any missionary
suffers wliat belongs to the work of love he is
in. It was vicarious suffering in no way pe-
culiar to him, save in degree." He finds
" vicarious sacrifice," the same in principle
with that of Christ, in a mother who " watches
for the child, bears all its pains and sickness
in her own feeling." We need not say that
we can have no sympathy with this view ;
nor does our denomination. All our standards
are against it, because we believe the Bible
to be against it. We stand with the cliurch
general. That this distinct return to an error
rejected by the clmrch after thorough contests,
is made by one of our own denomination will
grieve many in our household, but it will not
turn many away from what they believe to be
the plain teaching of Scripture. All the
wealth of diction and subtility of argument

in this hook, with its unsurpassccl expression
of Christ's renovating power, will not iiffcct
t'le truth. Every assault so far upon the doe-
trines of the cluirch has only raised up new
defences ; this will do the same.

We have previously read with deep in-
terest and with profit a number of essays from
Prof. Fisher, which were printed in some of our
Quarterlies, but are now found in a well
filled volume. '^ The Christian public are
greath' his and his publishers' debtors for this
able and timelj- work. We are delighted with
the author's perfectly transparent style and with
his fairness in dealing with the great difficul-
ties he so manfully and victoriously meets.
He does not slum, but grapples, with the ob-
jections which skeptics urge against the va-
lidity of miracles and the supernaturalness of
our holy religion. We have not seen these
objections anywhere else so completely and
fairly met. He has studied the ^vorks of the
teachers in German skepticism in their own
language, and thus becomes master of their
views and positions, and is thus able to ex-
pose the fallacy of their reasoning and the in-
accuracy of their conclusions. Renan's pop-
ular work is dealt with as its merits deserve.
Our limits forbid any just notice of this in-
valuable work. No Christian minister can
aflford to be without it.

A work which combines excellences

and defects in pretty even proportions is
Hurst's History of Rationalism. ^'^ It is con-
ceived from the Orthodox stand-point, and is
intended to be an exhaustive review of the
developments of rationalism in its antagonism
to Evangelical Christianity from the Reforma-
tion to the present day. The idea is a good
one, and the plan of the work is good, but the
working out of it seems to us superficial and
inadequate. Especially is this the case in the
chapter on the rise of the Unitarian Church
in New England. Here it is stated that every
Congregational church in Boston, except Park

Street and the old Soutii, becam(> Unitarian ;
the fact being that tlie former was called into
existence, in the Unitarian controversy, as a
new force against heresy. It is affirmed also
that this controversy led to " the withdrawal
of the Unitarians from the Orthodox, and
their formation into a distinct organization ; "
the fact being that it was the Unitarian policy to
take possession of the old churches and societies
and compel the Orthodox to secede and form
new churcli organizations, — which was done
in more than eighty instances. So the Chris-
tian Examiner: is called the " iveeUy organ of
the Unitarians." So mention is made of a
" church," in connection with Theodore Par-
ker's " 28th Congregational Society." We re-
fer to these inaccuracies which have met our
eye, not because they are of great consequence
in themselves, but because they seem to us
to indicate fairly the unreliable character of
the book in many of its statements.

A better and stronger volume should have
spoken from and for Orthodoxy, now that
Lecky is speaking, and speaking so well, for
the other wing.

In our general list, we find Holland's

lication of nine lectures which have met pub-
lic approval; plain, practical, and interesting,
and above all sensible. It is to the credit of
the public that such lectures are popular.

Herman, or Young Kniglitliood,^'* is

a tale with which we wanted to be offended
when we saw its aversion to Calvinism ; but
we could not be when we found so much true
religion in it. We wanted to like it extremely
when we found its noble tribute to real man-
hood ; but we could not when we saw its
ignorance of the real drift of views it disliked.
There is manhood and piety enough in it
for a dozen " religious novels," — power and
pathos enough for a dozen novels not " relig-
ious," — but hurt all the way by sympathies
we cannot like. Its scenes relate to slavery,
and delineate that infamous iniquity none too
severely. All the way through the book, we
have remembered soldiers, — living and dead,
— each one of whom was Herman.

Seven years ago, — in conjunction

with two beloved and honored coadjutors, one
still in the work, the other long since gone to
his reward, — I helped to prepare the first num-
ber of this Con(/7-egational Quarterly. And
steadily tlirough the seven years, with what of
ability I had, and what of labor and care I
could s])are from other and more imperative
duties, I have aided to supply our denomina-
tion with what seems more and more evident-
ly to be a necessity to its convenience and
prospferity, — not to use any stronger terms.
The time has now arrived when various con-
siderations decide me to appropriate to other
and favorite studies such few hours as I am
able weekly to redeem for any intellectual
recreation, and so make it expedient for me to
retire from any further official connection with
this journal.

I do so with gratitude, and something even
of a warmer feeling, for all its faithful patrons ;
with hearty love for my associates and best
wishes for their success ; and with the strong
confidence that there is a future yet before the
Quarter 1 1/ brighter than any prophecy which
has, as yet, been suggested by its past.

HENRY M. DEXTER.

Seven years ago, last November, Rev. Mr.
Dexter, during a recess of a council called
by the Shawmut Church in Boston, when a
particular principle had been under discus-
sion, suggested to a sub-member of that
council (whose name is still upon the title-
page of the Quarterly), the need of a publica-
tion which should discuss the principles, rescue
the past, and preserve the present, history of
the denomination. A week's thought resulted
in the determination to commence such a work.
Rev. Dr. Clark, having also had in mind,
though he had never seen the opportunity for
establishing, a publication something like the
old Quarterly Register, was added, or rather
prefixed, to the other associates, and subse-
quently the Secretary of the American Con-
gregational Union, who had continued the
Year-Book to that time. The origin of the
Quarterly, therefore, is due to Mr. Dexter.
How much his constant care, and the able ar-
ticles he has given to the public in these pages,
have been productive of good to the denomi-

nation, our seven volumes testify. His ready
and able pen and his vigilant oversight our
readers will miss, but not more than ourselves.
We part from him of necessity, and with the
assurances of our Christian love, and the hope
and belief that his abilities will be more and
more felt for the cause of Christ in his impor-
tant field of duty. These pages will still be
his, — whenever he can be prevailed upon to use
them, — as one who, by his learning, his expe-
rience, and his reflection, is an authority in
our denominational literature.

ALONZO H. QUINT,
ISAAC P. LANGWORTHY.

The Quarterly has been in existence for
seven years. Without being sectarian, it has
aimed to meet a peculiar want of the de-
nomination. Admitting all those shades of
difference which, without impairing fellowship,
do exist, it has recognized, in a spirit of
broad aflfection, the oneness of the Congrega-
tional churches.

Principles, both as to faith and polity, have
been freely discussed in the pages of the Quar-
terly. Practical questions upon our order of
government have received elaborate attention.
Research, minute and thorough, has rescued
its past and preserved our present history.
Portraits of eminent persons have been regu-
larly presented, and sketches of their lives
have paid tribute to their memory. Our de-
ceased ministers, prominent laymen, and god-
ly women have been remembered.

Tlie annual presentation of the statistics of
our churches, has not been of service only
as a record of facts, though no denomination
offers their equal. They have been, we have
repeatedly been assured, of good service.
They bring the whole body into one group ;
show the brotherhood of strong and weak
churches ; unite brethren on the Atlantic and
Pacific shores.

We propose to continue this service. We
believe it is doing good to the denomination.
The special character of the Quarterly will bo
maintained, — interfering with no other publi-
cation, — a necessary appendix to Bihliotheca,
Boston Review, or New Englander. The Quar-
terly fills a particular gap, and therefore
appeals to all classes for its support.

question has a pastor or stated preacher, but he is not " a member of a District Association in this State,"
nor has signified "his intention to become such at the earliest opportunity." In " Sabbath Schools," the
figures give the average attendance only.

" We have no place in which to hold a Sabbath school, and we are not yet connected with any conference.
It is the only Congregational Church in the state ; our nearest neighbors are the Congregational churches in
Philadelphia, the p.astors of which have several times been down and preached to us. We are just commenc-
ing to build a church. We are building as cheap and plain a building as we can, large enough to seat two
hundred people. We think we will be self-sustaining in a year after we get into our church."

Of the Pennsylvania churches, one is connected with the Ohio Conference ; ten with the General Associa-
tion of New York ; fifteen, or thereabouts, with the '• Congregational Association of Western Pennsylvania " ;
and thirty -one with the "Pennsylvania Welsh Congregational Union Association," — "Congregational in
every sense of the word,"' writes one of their pastors.

The tables have a very incomplete look ; but that was unavoidable. Most of the reports were got by direct
and voluminous correspondence ; and the Welsh " Association has never required a list of communicants in
the several churches ; only a general statement of the state of religion." We have the satisfaction, however,
of having secured, for the first time, a complete list (we believe) of the churches and ministers ; and we have
assurance of figures next year. Of the Welsh churches, •' some are small : the largest, which is at Kbens-
burg, will number from 400 to 500 communicants." One of their pastors writes that they will average 75
members each. We include the.se in the Summary. The letter " W," above, denotes Welsh churches.

At Pittsburg, a chapel is just finished by the Plymouth church, which realizes, from rent and premiums,
near $4,000. "A large number are awaiting admission to the church." " The brethren are moving for a new
church."

We regret that repeated efforts failed to get any replj- whatever from the First and Second churches in
Philadelphia. Their totiil silence does not speak well for fraternity.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

The First Congregational Church in Washington was organized in October, 1865, and recognized by Coun-
cil November 15, — having 107 members, 18 more being added at the first communion, making 125. The acting
pastor is Rev. Charles B. Boynton, D. D., who is also chaplain of the House of Representatives of the Thirty-
ninth Congress. The attendance was large from the commencement of public worship in September ; and
the prospects of soon having a large, vigorous, and flourishing church are most encouraging. Congregation-
alLsts in Washington are numbered by thousands.

The previous attempts to establish a permanent Congregational Church in the national capital have failed.
A church was formed in 1852, which maintained public worship, with long intervals, for about six and a half
years ; and an experiment of three months was also made, in the spring of 1864, under auspices not favor-
able to success.

In addition to Rev. Dr. Boynton, other ministers in AVashington are as follows : Charles M. Blake, Solo-
mon P. Giddings, D. B. Nichols, Jacob R. Shipherd(Freedmen's Aid), WiUiam A. Thompson.

WELSH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES.
The.«e churches are not reported to the General Conference. " We have a State Association, formed in
1840," says the scribe, " and we meet once a year, for the transaction of business, etc."' . . . . " The State is
divided into three districts, — the Eastern, Southern, and Western Districts, — e.ich of which holds a Confer-
ence every quarter.-' We have obtained from the Scribe, Rev. D. Davies, of Parisville, a list of the churches
and ministers, but without statistics, — those being very imperfectly reported. We have concluded not to
break up the tables, as arranged this year, but to add as follows : —

Twenty-seven churches, of which two are vacant ; seventeen ministers. Efforts to get returns from these
churches, in 18G2, found 1,493 members, which it is safe to include now.

SUMMARY. — Churches : 127 with ministers ; 3 condition not reported ; 30 vacant. Total, 160.
Ministers : 110 in pastoral work ; 33 others. Total, 143.

Chorch Membkrs.: 3,601 males : 6.5-31 females; 1,493 not specified) Welsh). Total, 11,025. j .^j;?
Additions in 1864: 777 by profession; 404 by letter. Total, 1,181.

Removals in 1864: 166 by death ; 416 by dismissal ; 20 bv excommunicntion. Total, 602.

Contributions (from the 111 reporting churches) : !|78.209 for parish purposes; $37,165 benevolent (of
which 83,183.18 for home missions). Total, .S115..374.
Of the churches above enumerated, 122 are associated in nine Conferences ; and also directly in a General
Conference. The 27 AVelsh churches are associated as above mentioned.

Last year. 2.36 churches were enumerated : this year, 160 ; and there is a diminution of nearlj- 5,000 mem-
bers. The difference i.s accounted for by the erasure of the names of all •'c>nirvc;;atioiia! churches connected
with and reported by Presbyterians, under the old " Plan of Union." The appaient loss is a real gaiu.

Rev. Keuben Gaylord, ord. 1838, Agent A. H. M. S., Omaha.

" The population of Nebnvska," Br. Ga3'lord writes us, October 28, "has increa.'cd very much within the
last year. The llomestead Law is bi-ingiiig us settlers. The building of the Pacific K. K., from Omaha west,

is attracting the attention of business men Our settlements are considerably scattered, and this makes

a demand lor itinerant labor. A half dozen devoted, self-denying men could be set at work in this way with
great profit to our population, and advantage to our iustitutious and polity. I have just organized two new
churches ou one field occupied by one of our mis.siouaries ; and if we had the men, of the right stamp, the
same results could be reached in other portions of the Territory."

The churches of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are united (excepting Manchester, St. John, Trin., and
St. Stephen, which belongs to Maine Conference) in the " Congregational Union of Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick."' The lists of churches are .sent by Rev. Robert Wilson. " Statistics of our churches," writes the
Secretary, Nov. 14, " I cannot give. Few as they are in number, it has been hard work, during the past few
years, to get pastors to settle over them That difficulty, thank God, is now in a great measure surmounted,
and we begin to enjoy something like Christian fellowship. The brethren are very much united."

JAMAICA, WEST INDIES.

We were promised reports, but failed to receive them. There are, or were, six churches there, under the
care of the American Missionary Association.

INDIANA,

(Deferred from page 87.)

We are requested to insert last year's reports. It is hardly worth while to do more than to insert th®
totals in the summary. Any one wishing to see its list is referred to last year's issue.

In the above table, note, —

1. The figures in the third column — " not specified " — do not imply that the number of churches so sit-
uated have no " pastors," but that the statistical reports do not distinguish between " pastors " and " stated
supplies." Yet the great majority of such churches have " stated supplies " only.

2. The churches " not supplied " — most of them — have regular preaching, but no minister engaged for
regular service. Further, some of them, apparently nearly a hundred, are supplied by licentiates, Presby-
terians, or men of other denominations.

3. The si.ith column of figures — " condition not reported '■' — states that the churches reckoned in it make
no report whether they have a minister or not. Quite a number do have one ; but most of them are doubt-
less unsupplied.J'

4. The tenth column of figures includes some pastors, but most reckoned therein are stated suppUes ; but
the failure to report exactly prevents us from distributing them. Stated supplies are often practically equiv-
aleut to pastors, — the only diflerence being the absence of a legal settlement.

5. The number of ministers '' not in pastoral work " is smaller in the table than in truth. Changing from
one State to another, many appear in the lists of neither until a succeeding year. Of the 253 names er.ised
this year, two-thirds will re-appear — according to our experience — and as many more fall out another year.
Moreover, in most States only those are included who are members of some Association or Conference. Many
of those enumerated are missionaries, preachers to churches of other denominations, chaplains, laborers with
the Freedmen, presidents and professors in colleges, teachers, secretaries and agents of benevolent societies,
editors, &c. Postmasters, farmers, state-oflicials, physicians, and the like, ought to be dropped.

6. The 2,888 " totxl ministers " include such .additional as have been found in preparing >' List of Ministers. "

7. " Benevolent Contributions " do not include current exjien.^es, building, or repairs of churohe.s, paying
<hurch debts, or any other local expenses.

In the above table, note, —

1. The " totals " of church members, additions, and removals, in several States, and .so in the footings,
exceed the sum of particulars. This is because the " total" is occasionally given with no report of the par-
ticulars. The "totals" are correct; but the "males" and "females," the " profes.sions " and "letters,"
the " deaths," " dismissals," and " excommunications," are slightly less, as reported, than they ought to be.

2. The "excommunication" column covers also the number of per.sons whose names are dropped from
church lists on account of long absence.

3. " In Sabbath Schools," — Connecticut reports only the " average attendance," while the other States
report the actual membership at a given date.

4. The reports from Indiana and Jamaica are " old reports," and that those of Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick are partially so.

REMARKS UPON THE STATISTICS.

I. AUTHOEITIES. The publications of the several General Associations or Conferences are the basis of the
foregoing tables. They have been re-arranged in alphabetical order : churches reported by a State organiza-
tion other than their own, transferred to their proper place ; the latter, as furnished, carefully scrutinized ;
correspondence had with the secretaries, for the amendment of returns ; names of pastors inserted or omit-
ted, according to changes subsequent to the printing of the State publications ; first names of hundreds of
ministers inserted from any reliable authority ; and manifest errors corrected. The Summaries are generally
altered by the transfers of churches; but no change of pastoral relation is allowed to alVect the original enu-
meration, for obvious reasons. Nor is anything inserted or altered without authority. A blank signifies,
invariably, " no report," and is never equivalent to " none."

1866.] Summaries of Statistics. 107

II. ExPLANATlo.vs. As to ckurches : towns are arranged in alphabetical order: churches in each town
according to ago ; and, of each church, — 1st, its town, 2d, its locality in the town, 3d its name, when such
items are given.

As to ministers : all in pastoral woi-k are pastors (settled), except where the name is followed by " s. s."
(Stated supply), '"s. p." (stated preacher), or "'a. p." (acting pastor), or except in States where it is stated
that no distinction is made between pastors and others, in the published Minutes. The two dates following
'' ministers " denote respectively the year of ordination and tliat of commencing labor with the church men-
tioned. " Licentiates " are not reckoned as " ministers." Tlie column of ministers is corrected to the date
of printing. Ministers not in pastoral work differ in the numbers given in the State publications, by rea-
son of transfer to places of actual residence. Post-office addresses are to be found in the " list of Ministers,"
and not in these tables.

As to church members: the date of reckoning differs in different States, as is seen. "Absent " are included
in "males," " females," and " totals," unless otherwise stated. "Additions," etc., cover the year preced-
ing the date given. " Last year's reports " are invariably excluded ; but their aggregate for churches enu-
merated but not reporting is given at the close of the table of each State.

As to Sabbath Schools : the entire membership is given, unless expressly stated otherwise.

III. Comparisons. The number of cterc/ies enumerated this year is 23 less than last year. Yet, instead of
a loss, there has been a real and substantial gain. Seventy churches have been dropped from the list in
OWo ; part of them because of continued connection with Presbyteries, on the old " plan of union; " and
part because "Independent," not Com regational. This ought to have been done long ago. We said last
year, " Whether churches connected with Presbyteries, allowing themselves to be reported annually as Pres-
byterian churches, ought to be in our tables, is a matter of taste ; our taste objects, but we follow the State
document." This year, the State document agrees with our view. However strictly Congregational such
churches maybe in their own government, it would be a statistical error to number them with one denomina-
tion while they prefer to cooperate with another. It is equally an error to insert, without some wish on their
part, the names of churches which persist in Independency : though we should gladlj' welcome them into
closer relations, — appreciating them all the more for their very jealousy in behalf of their liberties. There
are at least between one and two hundred of this class of churches ; and of the Congregational churches con-
nected with Presbyteries, in addition to those now dropped in Ohio, there were in New York, in 1860, a
hundred and twenty -four : none of these are reckoned in our tables.

But for this reduction in Ohio, we should have found a gain of 47 churches. But 30 of this is due to the
assurances of cooperation of the \relsh Congregational churches of Pennsylvania. Omitting those, there
would still have been a net gain of 17 churches.

The number of churches in New England is unchanged. An apparent loss of one is due to error last year.

New York shows a gain of three ; Illinois, two ; Missouri, thirteen ; California ten ; Nova Scotia, one. Wo
have entered Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Tennessee, and Washington and Utah Territories,
and have societies in North Carolina and Louisiana : the beginnings of a work which is to be vigorously pros-
ecuted for furnishing the destitute with the Gospel of Christ.

Some States report less than last year : Michigan, five ; Minnesota, four ; Nebraska, one ; Kansas, one ;
Canada, two ; and New Brunswick, one. Most of these are probably due to imperfect reports, — the careless
dropping of churches which ai-e statistically deaf. We have ventured to replace only two, and that upon
direct inquiry, in New York. We have not included any churches formed since the precise end of the
statistical year, though we find them in seven or eight States.

Of the churches, — who have settled pastors, or stated supplies, compared with last year, it is impossi-
ble to teU, on account of the increased number which do not discriminate between pnstors and stated
suppUes. The number of" vacant " churches appears less, but that is due to the column of " condition not
reported."

The whole number of ministers reported, is 2,888. against 2,862 last year — which should be over 3,000.

In the number of church members, there is a gain of 1,047. The cutting out of the seventy churches in
Ohio cut off also over 5,000 church members. But for that, there would be a gain of bver 6,000.

The additions by profession during the year, exceed those of any year since those following the revival sea-
son of 1857-8 ; and those by letter are larger than since 1860.

The removals have been according to the usual average in each particular. The deaths are, as in pre.
ceding years, 18 to every 1,000 members

The baptisms are, adults decidedly increased ; infant, the usual number.

The numbers in Sunday Schools fall off 7,739. The reason is not obvious, unless we attribute it to the fact
that when the figures were collected, far more tlian that number of our teachers and scholars were in mili-
tary service.

STATISTICS FOR PRECEDIKG YEARS.

We continue the tables of churches, ministers, church membership, yearly changes, &c., inserted last
year, which had been compiled with great care by thoroughly revising the reports of the years mentioned.
These are till which our present data furnish. Three statements of last year, which escaped a last correction.

108

Summar{<'^ of Statistics.

[Jan.

are modified in this : in last year's printing, — against the year 1860, — " 586 churches not supplied with
ministers," should be subdivided into "408 not supplied, 178 condition not reported." Against the year
1861, — instead of " No. ministers' position not known," there should be " 93," — making the " total " of
ministers " 2,706," instead of " 2,613." Against the year 1865, — " 678 [instead of 676] churches not sup-
plied with ministers," should be subdivided into "582 not supplied, 96 condition not reported." These
changes are made iu the tables as now printed.

These figures show a steady gain in the number and numerical strength of our churches, — modified this
year by tlie dropping of the 70 Ohio churches. There is no reason whatever to doubt the reality of this
increase, but every reason to believe in its substant truth. If it has been followed by an equal advance in
spiritual life, we have done well.

The number of ministers has also steadily increased. While the " total " is about eq\ial to that of the
number of churches, our churches are inadequately sujiplied. A far greater want, however, is disclosed
when we notice the great number of ministers not in pastoral work. Of the.^e, many are mis.«ionaries, teach-
ers, professors, or presidents of colleges or seminaries ; a goodly number are in pastoral work abroad ; others
are editors, secretaries, or agents of religious societies: — all of which are of indispensable service to the
churches Many more still are supplying different pulpits from Sabbath to Sabbath. But, after all these
deductions, the number of ministers who are superannu.ated, or who have engaged in secular pursuits, makeg
a sad diminution from our " total," even though doubtless a hundred or two more names ought to be on the
roll. For the great work before the denomination, the number is sadly inadequate.

The number of "absentees" remains about stationary. The evil apparent is not so great in reality;
inasmuch as these " absentees " really balance each other.

The additions are quite uniform year by year, except in years following revivals, as in 1857-8. The deaths
moderately and proportionally increase ; so readily that it may be taken for granted, that, in every thousand
members reporting, the deaths will be eighteen annually.

Another year, with the impulse given by the National Council, ought to show great results. A. II. Q

LIST or CONGREGATIONAL MINISTERS,

WITH THEIR LATEST IQ^OWN POST-OEFICE ADDRESS.

CoxcERNiNG the following list, seTeral things are to be noted :

1. The names of ministers found in the minutes of the several General Associations and Conferences are
its basis ; to which we have added only those others which come from reliable authority in the several States.
Many names are missing, because not reported by the Associations.

2. Licentiates are not ministers. Don't look for their names.

3. This list will sometimes disagree with the foregoing tables, because we have corrected up to the latest
moment.

4. This list is occasionally inaccurate. flTiere the same man is reported as living in three States at once,
it requires more discernment than we possess to settle the difficulty. Nor do we know anything except what
comes on paper.

5. In searching for a name of various spellings, look at each form. All contracted names, like " Mc,"
are arranged according to the contracted spelling.

6. In deciding between Presbyterian and Congregational character, we hold that a member of any minis-
terial or church body retains his denominational character, although acting as stated supply of a church of
the other denomination ; but a pastor is necessarily of the same denomination as his church. That is, we
have tried to follow this rule, though we are very sure we have not always succeeded. A man can go from
one denomination to the other ; but no man can be a member of two denominations at once.

7. Send us notice of all mistakes. Post-office addresses are sometimes antiquated.

8. We have era.«ed from last year's list 253, and have inserted 270 names. We ought to have had a
hundred more. If your name is omitted, send us word, accompanied by a dollar and a half for the Quarterly
for 1866.

The anxiously and hopefully looked for 17th of December, 186.5 has come and gone. Its
transactions ai'C now history, not prophecy. The former, however, is not yet so revealed
that it can be written out. So far as its items are known, they reveal the fact that the churches
that observed the day according to the recommendation of the National Council, have as a
whole, done fully their share of the great work proposed to be done. Full one-half of the
amount — $200,000 — has been raised by one third of the churches which might be reason-
ably expected to give. Those reported, doubtless, embrace the larger portion of our abler
churches. But there still remain quite Sixteen Hundred Congregational Churches
IN THE United States, which certainly want a share in this great and pressing work, of
whose doings, in this direction, the public is yet to bo informed. That some of them intend
to take collections is known, and that some have taken them already, but have not forwarded

them, is quite probable. But it is more than feared that, for various reasons, not a few have
made no arrangements even yet, to have any part or lot in this matter.

Will such churches consider, that the sum proposed, large as it is, will not meet the wants
of applicants already before the trustees of the Union, if anything like the amounts asked
for and seemingly needed shall be granted 1 Wc cannot enter into the small but hopeful
opening for our polity and principles at Richmond, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans, Chat-
tanooga, New Berne, Nashville, &c. &c., without large expenditures ; and failing to enter in,
we fail to do the great work expected of us by the National Council, — nay, we fail to do what
the Master most plainly calls upon us, as a denomination, now to do, and we fail to do what the
present most urgent needs of our country hold us responsible for doing. Let it not be feared
tluu so large a sum would be " wasted " if put into our hands. Every case is carefully scru-
tinized by personal observation. In all cases of large appropriation, a deed of the entire
property will be taken and held in trust for a Congregational Church, until such time as is
deemed safe to release it and such amounts shall be refunded as is deemed just. The large
sum named is as sure to be wisely and economically invested, as the much larger amounts,
whicli are intrusted to equally irresponsible Boards. No care or work will be spared to dis-
burse these funds West, South, North, and East, in such a way as to bring the greatest relief
and help to the greatest number of our needy churches.

But the disaster and distress that will necessarily ensue upon a failure of securing this en-
tire, sum should be considered. Many a little church will be discouraged and be compelled to
di-;band. Scores of true and loyal men in destitute communities, struggling against fearful
ojijiosition to truth and loyalty, will lose heart and abandon fondly cherished hopes of com-
plete success by our timely and expected help. Only yesterday I received a letter from the
agent of the American Home Missionary Society in Missouri, containing a remittance of
ei;//U dollars from a little Congregational band of Welshmen, in which he says, " I do hope you
will raise the entire $200,000. Eighteen Congregational churches in this state alone, will
want your help to build next summer." This estimate does not include Kansas City, nor Kansas
jjroper, nor Minnesota, nor Iowa, nor Wisconsin, nor Michigan, to say nothing of Colorado,
Nebraska, California, Utah, &c. Brethren, there is a great work before us, on us, and
we cannot do it without your cooperation. Our financial year closes with the first day of
May ensuing. Immediately thereafter our annual report will be issued, giving the name of
every contributing church, and single contributions from individuals to this fund. We do
not want to leave out a single church, large or small. The record will be important and in-
teresting to the present and coming generations. Let the churches which have not arranged
a contriliution before May 1st, 1866, now consider whether it cannot be done. Pastors are
kindly but urgently entreated to look after this matter, each in his own church. And there
is surely many an individual who will wish to take liberally of this richly paying stock be-
yond what the Church may incline to do. Let such remit without delay, any amount his
conscience and ability may suggest, and God will reward the cheerful, liberal giver.

We have paid last bills since last reports, as follows : —

Edwards Congregational Church, Davenport, Iowa, $500 — St. Paul's Congregational
Church [colored), Flatbush, New York, $100 — Congregational Church, Cedar Falls, Iowa,
$300 — First Congregational Church, Dewitt, Iowa, $.500 — First Congregational Church,

128 ' American Congregational Association. [Jan.,

American (fnitgrccjaticriTal g^ssocratiort.

We' did confidently fiope that in this issue, and at the beginning of this new year, we should
be able to announce to our readers, the pleasing fact that a " Home " for Congregationalism
had at last been provided ; or, at least, the means mainly secured speedily to provide one.
But such is not our privilege. With the best that the Rev. Mr. Marvin has been able to do, but
a little more than thirty-five thousand dollars have been pledged, — and this upon the condi-
tion that fifty thousand shall be secured. Vigorous efforts have been made in Boston, and
no inconsiderable canvassing in neighboring cities and larger towns of the Commonwealth.
Other and pressing calls seem to have preoccupied the available ground to a very large ex-
tent, and it is difficult to foresee a time, from present indications, when the coast will be clear.
The simple fact in the case is this : — Our good and giving people do not appreciate the
IMPORTANCE OF THE OBJECT. Could they for a few days take my position, and see what
we have in our, but begun, library, pertaining to our early history, doctrines, and polity, and
work as well, indeed, — that which is so difficult to obtain, and yet of such priceless value and
could not be replaced if destroyed, and yet exposed in an un-fire-proof building; if they could
see what we have not got and cannot get without a secure place in which to keep it, and
much of it we cannot get without money to pay for it with, and yet this is fast going beyond
-our reach ; if they could see how many come now to seek supplies from our limited^resources,
valuing much and using what they find, and wondering why we have not what they expect to
find, — coming from the far West and from the far East, not in large numbers, but for large pur-
poses ; let these things be seen and felt, as I am obliged to see and feel them, by our noble,
princely givers of Boston, of Massachusetts, they would begin at once to vie with each other
which alone, should endow the Asssociation, making it his pet heir. He would see here a
want second to no other in all Christendom for a permanent investment, to furnish by one
royal gift, perpetual sources and streams of unvarying good. These precious books will never
teach heresy. They will never " deny the Lord that bought" and sanctified their authors,
And they will attract to themselves the thousands of other books, sermons, minutes, treatises,
&c., &c., which are scattered here and there, now useless, then making a part of a great whole,
always completing, though never complete; always useful, but always increasing its own
usefulness.

But the importance of this object is greatly enhanced by the " Home " quality it has in it-
self, as well as by the " Library " provisions. As now we go forth to " nationalize " our
polity, more than ever do we deeply want a center, or rather a rallying point, a starting place, a
place of reference ; a place where the fathers may be consulted, and the brethren may be seen ;
a place to which ministers and Christian men may resort when they visit the birthplace of our
polity and principles and feel themselves at home ; a place where may be found what shall
teach and all that shall teach what we believe is the New Testament church-polity so nearly
as that book teaches any. Let Boston men, Massachusetts men. New England men, any-
where, whose eyes may fall upon these lines, which give but hints, consider if here is not such
an opportunity for any one of them, or any number of them to bless themselves and bless
posterity as may never be again offered them. He will be long remembered who shall bring
the topmost stone of such a structure to its place, and that the more tenderly and enduringly
the sooner it is done.

We add slowly to our shelves valuable books, and are gathering still of valuable pamphlets.
We have ample room for either, and no kinds or sorts come amiss ; we have not room here to
specify particular wants, but in general we say, send us all you do not wish to keep ; burn or
send to the " grinders" nothing that is perfect in itself — send it as below, at my expense.

A RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPER FOR THE FAMILY.
E KT L^A^ PL O- E 13 !

Tho CONGREGATIONALIST has bi-i-ii eiil;ii<.a-(l to eight columns per page,
and is now printed upon new and open type, easily read. Hereafter more time,
thought, work, and money will be expended upon all its departments. It will receive
new editorial vigor, and its selections will be made with greater care. Items of inter
est in the departments of literature, and the news of the churches in other lands, will
receive more attention and take a regular place in its issues, and a careful summary
of missionary intelligence will be published on- the Friday preceding the -Monthly
Concert. In each issue we shall furnish a careful summary of the news of the week,
from an able pen, occupying from one to two columns, and arranged under different
heads ; constituting at once a valuabte and attractive feature of the paper. Those
who have no daily paper, or who have no time to read the details of news, can obtain
from thiit! summary an intelligent view of the progress of events. We shall also en-
deavor to make our poetical and juvenile department increasingly valuable. In the
general department of religious intelligence, it is sufficient to say that the paper will
sustain the preeminence it has already attained. In short, we design to make the
CoxGREGATioxALirtT as mucli more valuable to our denomination and to all than it
has been, as the most liberal outlay in every department, guided by our best efforts,
shall be able to make it. Among our special contributors are the following :

REV. JOHN TODD, D. D., REV. A. H. QUINT,

REV. JOSEPH P. TH03IPS0N, D. D., "SPECTATOR," (Washington Cwresp-t.)

REV. LEONARD BACON, D. D., REV. W. L. GAGE, (For. Cor., '"Toi-c")

We also have a large number of occasional contributors, such as Miss A. C. John-
son, who furnishes exceedingly interesting letters from Paris ; " Western," our Chica-
go correspondent ; " Carleton " (Mr. C. C- Coffin) ; Prof W. D. Gunning ; Rev.
Horace James ; Dr. Worthington Hooker, of New Haven ; Hon. Amasa Walker, of
North Brookfield; Mrs. P. H. Phelps; Mrs. E. N. Horton ; "Jenny Bradford";
Frances Lee ; " Sophit^ May," and numerous others, some of whose names we are not
at liberty to use.

OPINIONS OP THE PRESS.

" The Congregationalist now stands at the head of papers of its class, and certainly has no su-
perior in this country " — Boston Daily Jouriml, Nov. 3d.

" Its conductors understand that tliere is no reason why a rehgious paper should not be fresh
and racy." — Boston Transcript, Nov. 2d.

" Every issue shows, in its different departments, careful and judicious editorial labor." — Bos-
ton Traveller, N'ov. ith.

"Is made up with tas|e and discrimination, its editorial force- is earnest and well directed, and
it has among its contributors some of the most acceptable writers of the day, * * * and com-
bines, in an unusual degree, the requisites of a good family paper of the higher class." — Boston
Advertiser, Nov. IGih. , - •

" One of the best of the religious weeklies, and a bright, fresh, readable paper." — Springfield
Republican, Nov. 4fh.

" It is edited with marked ability and independence, * * * and is one of the most readable
papers Upon our exchange list." — Salem Observer, Nov. lift.

"No more thoroughly' edited journal comes to our exchange table." — Neio York Evanf/elist.

NO PREMIUMS. — Our contributors are PAID, and hence we are able to secure and have
constantly on hand a large and valuable variety of matter. This involves a heavy outlay, but we
prefer thus to expend money in enriching our columns rather than to offer premiums for new
subscribers, as many papers are doing; and we wish it understood, that though new subscribers
cannot obtain the Congregationalist at a reduced rate, and will not be hired to take it by the offer
of some '■'splendid present," they will obtain, whenever they do subscribe for it, a paper that is
" loorth the money," and one that is seldom dropped when once introduced into the family. Spec-
imen numbers sent without charge.

DUNN BROWNE IN THE ARMY.

One handsome volume, 16mo. Price $2.00.

" Dunn Browne " (Kev. Samuel Fiske) was pastor of the Congregational Church in Madison,
Conn. He enlisted as a private at the breaking out of the rebellion; was subsequently pro-
moted to First Lieutenant and then to Captain. After participating in nearly all the great
battles of the Army of the Potomac, he received his death wound on the second day of the
bloody battle of the Wilderness, wnile at the head of his command. The present volume
contains the record of his life iuid experiences, with other matters of interest, while in the
army, written in the fresh and inimitable style of the gifted and lamented author.
The New Englandkk, in an extended notice, says: —

" Friend ! Scholar I Wit ! Writer I Preacher I Soldier I his life is a rare study, worthy the thought
and painting of a philosophic artist. . . . The secret of his unfailing cheerfulness is given in one of
his letters to his mother in one of tKe noblest sentiments in human language: — 'i am cheer/vl an i
happy, day by day, because I think God is my friend, ancfis doing all things rightly for me and all mine,
as well as for the whoh world and for the universe.'^ "

" Remarkable for close obseivation graphic description and sound common sense." — Spring. Repvb.

" His whole experience furnishes a volume of rare literary excellence and entertainment. A charac-
ter as lovely as it was brilliant.'' — Sultm Gazette.

" The perfection of all that is generous, manly, bright, and happy in human nature — a very Bayard
in honor, a Howard in his devotion to the sick ami suffering. — Hartford Times.

The first edition of this excellent book was sold on the day of publication. A new
edition is now ready — embellished with a fine steel portrait of the author.

CONGREGATIONALISM : What it is ; whence it is ; how it works ; wliy it is
better than any other Form of Church Government ; and what are its consequent
demands. By Rev. Henry M. Dextek, for more than thirteen years an editor of
the " Congregationalist,'' and .senior editor of the " Congregational Qimrterly." One
vol. 8vo, 350 pp. Price $3.00.
This volume is intended as a'liand-book for all who wish to become acijuainted with the
Nature, Okigin, and Wokkinci Princh'i.ks of Congregationalism. It is recngnized as the
standard authority on all matters of Congregational chuich polity. The publishers are per-
mitted to use the following unsolicited testimony from Rev. Dk. Fatton, of Chicago, 111.:

"I have examined, with equal care and pleasure, the work on Congregationali.im by Rev. H. M.
Dexter, recently published by your house. It meets a want long felt among our churches, and gives
them, in a single volume, an expopitiou of the nature and working of our free polity, and an irrefutable-
argument from Scripture, reason, and experience, in its defence. The ecclesiastical learning and industry
manifested in the volume, the abundant reference to authorities, the full and apposite citations, and the
copious analysis and index, make it a complete armory, whence one may draw any needed weapon at a
moment's notice. The circulation of the work at the West would be of great value as a means of instruc-
tion to ministers and churches, especially in view of its clear statement of fundamental principles, and
determination of all questions in their light.''

" Mr. Dexter's book, though strfctly denominational, is neither sour, dry, nor merely dogmatical. It
is exactly what it purports to be, a thorough explanation of Congregationalism. . . It is clear,
able, and courteous, and is an important book for laymen as well as pastors to pos.-ess."' — Presby. Stand.
"A work which will not only prove of great value to clergymen, but to all lajmen who have an inter-
est in matters of ecclesiastical polity." — Springfield K'publicfm.

'• Ve cheerfully acknowledge the value and ability of the work, which, we may add, is beautifully
printed, and ought to be in the library of every Churchman who would be fully informed on these im-
portant .subjects." — Christian Times and Ejiiscopal Recorder.

Messrs. N. & N. have also just published :
THE VERDICT OF REASON ON THE QUESTION OF THE FUTURE
PUNISHMENT OF THE IMPENITENT. By Rev. Henky M. Dkxtek.
Trice $1.00.

Attention is requested to the following brief analysis :

Question. — Is it reasonable that God should punish eternally tho?c who die impenitent? Chap. I.—
Reason the ultimate Judge. II. — The principles on which Reason must decide. 111. — The Testimony
of the Old Testament. IV. — The Testimony of Christ. V. —The Testimony of the Apostles. VI.—
The n ore indirect Testimonies of the Bible. Vll. — There is no reasonable objection to this Testimony
which has force to modify it. VIll. — Summing up of the Argument.

This eminently practical treatise discusses the subject in the plainest and most thorough umnner, and
enables the reader to comprehend just the ground upon which the doctrine rests. As a hand-book for
reference, or as a volume for distribution, it will be found invaluable to pastor and people.

" Dear Sir, — I have been waiting, before writing to you, in order to get information as to
the exact time you might expect the portraits of Dr. Dutton. They were to be done about the
middle of this month.

" I am sorry now to say, that the engraver, A. H. Kitchie, who was engraving the plate, was
burned out yesterday in the fire corner of Barclay Street and Broadway, and lost everything.

SAMUEL W. S. DUTTOK

BY KEV. INCREASE N. TAKBOX. OF BOSTON, MS.

Samuel William Southmatd
DuTTOsr, son of Rev. Aaron and Dor-
cas (Sonthmayd) Dutton, was born in
the town of Guilford, Ct., March 14th,
1814. He was the second son and
fourth child in a family of eight chil-
dren. He received his name from his
maternal uncle, — his mother's only
brother, — Samuel William Southmayd,
a lawyer by profession.

His ancestry on both sides, so far back
as we have traced it, has been distin-
guished for piety and substantial intel-
ligence ; and especially for attachment
to the simple faith and order of Puri-
tan worship. His great-grandfather,
Thomas Dutton, had ten children, two
of whom died in early life. The others
were all members of churches, and
four of them filled the office of deacon.
He lived to the advanced age of ninety-
three.

One of his sons was Deacon Thomas
Dutton of AYatertown, Ct., who died
in the year 1806, at the age of seventy-
one. His family numbered nine chil-
dren, the youngest of whom was
Aaron.

Rev. Aaron Dutton, the father of
the subject of this memoir, was born
at Watertown, May 1st, 1780. He en-
tered Yale College at the age of nine-
teen, and graduated in 1803. He made
9

profession of his faith in Christ and
joined the college church in 1802. He
was settled in the ministry at Guilford,
Ct., December 10th, 1800. His mar-
riage occurred during the same year.
His ministry in this place continued
until 1842, nearly thirty-six years,
when he was dismissed. He died in
the city of !N"ew Haven in 1849. His
wife, Dorcas Southmayd, was the
daughter of Samuel Southmayd, of
Watertown, Ct. She was of a family
of eight children, seven daughters and
one son. She died in 1841, the year
before her husband's dismission.

We shall not attempt to trace back
farther the line of maternal ancestry,
lest these details should become bur-
densome. Suffice it to say, that there
is on this side the same evidence of
piety, intelligence, and worth, as on the
other. Almost all the members of
both families, for several generations,
who have lived to years of under-
standing, have been communicants in
Congregational churches.

The town of Guilford is one of the
ancient towns of Connecticut. In the
year 1639, one year after the settle-
ment at New Haven, a colony from
Kent and Susses, in England, estab-
lished itself at this place. The head
of this colony was Rev. Henry Whit-

field, a minister of wealth, and intel-
lectual distinction. The stone house
built by him on his arrival (and which
was in some sense a fort, as well as a
house, being fortified and arranged to
repel the attacks of the Indians), is
still standing, and is an object of great
curiosity to visitors. The town lies on
the southern shore of the State, fifteen
miles east from ISTew Haven; with a
level, sunny, and open aspect, in that
part bordering upon Long Island
Sound, but rising on the north into
rough hills and wild scenery. It is
the place where Dr. Lyman Beecher,
though a native of ^STew Haven, spent
the early years of his life, on the farm
of his imcle. Job Berton, and in the
" Autobiography and Correspondence,"
the spot is thus described: —

" The town of Guilford was laid out, like
that of New Haven, around a central square,
on which were placed the church and its sur-
rounding home for the dead. The settlers
at first clustered around this center, but soon
their farms extended on every side. . . The
country around consists of rocky hills and
valleys, gradually rising to where Old Bluff
Head lifts its wooded summit four hundred
feet, and then descends precipitous and bare,
to a beautiful lake embowered in thick woods.
From these heights descend the clear trout-
brooks, now tinkling and glancing up from
deep ravines by the road, and then dancing
over white pebbles along the country paths,
lined with billows of rosy laurel."

The colony that established itself
upon this spot, in the year 1639, was
one of great intelligence and dignity of
character, possessing also an unusual
share of wealth, so that it was able
from the first to build its institutions
upon a large and substantial basis.
The style of life which these founders
introduced, the policy which they set
in motion continued through many
generations. There was an evident re-
spectability about the old town. There
was a tenacity in holding on to the an-
cient customs. People did not need to

look away to other jilaces to find the
forms and fashions of life, — how they
should tratfic and build, or how they
should think and act. They took these
things as they seemed good unto them-
selves, and as a kind of natural out-
growth from the seeds planted in the
past. There was consequently a large
individuality, — a native originality of
character, sometimes develoi^ing itself
in unattractive forms, but helloing con-
tinually to give strength and character-
istic features to society. Fitz Greene
Halleck, a native of Guilford, doubt-
less had in his mind's eye the men and
women, among whom his early life
was passed, when he wrote his poem,
" Connecticut: " —

" 'Tis a rough land of earth and stone and tree,
Wliere breathes no castled lord or cabined slave ;
Where thoughts, and tongues, and hands, are bold
and free,
And friends will find a welcome, foes a grave ;
And where none kneel save when to Heaven they
pray,
Nor even then, unless in their own way.

" They love their land because it is their own,
And scorn to give aught other reason why ;

Would shake hands with a king upon his throne,
And think it kindness to his majesty ;

A stubborn race, fearing and flattering none.
Such are they nurtured, such they live and die.

" View them near

At home, where all their worth and pride is placed ;

And there their hospitable fires burn clear,
And there the lowliest farm-house hearth is graced

With manly hearts, in piety sincere."

Within the last seventy-five years, a
kind of blight has come over many of
the old towns of New England. They
have lost not a little of their early dig-
nity and resijectability. These ancient
muiiicipalities, planted among the hills,
— organized around a church of the
living God, which was their center and
heart, — the nurseries of culture, of
freedom, of piety, have many of them
gradually declined before the chang-
ing civilization of these modern days.
"The gods of the valleys" are pre-
vailing over " the gods of the hills."

selves on the streams and rivers, along
the lines of railway, or are drained off
to feed the enormons growth of cities.
Silence and stagnation have crept over
many old towns that were once places
of great importance. They wear now
a broken-down and discouraged aspect.
Guilford for many years shared to
some extent in this process of decay,
though not in the same degree as many
other i^laces. But its position on the
Sound, its relations to New Haven and
ISevf York, and its present railway fa-
cilities are giving it again an upward
tendency.

Here, in the year 1814, the subject
of this sketch was born, and here he
passed all the early years of his life
until his entrance into college. Dr.
Bacon, who was intimately acquainted
with his father's family, siDeaking of
his early education says : —

" His Christian discipline began almost
with his birth. He was born into a house-
hold where this discipline was administered
in love, where a mother, gentle, firm, and
intelligent, was the guardian angel of her
children, and the light and joy of her hus-
band. He was carefully taught, and careful-
ly restrained and guided. He breathed an
atmosphere of intelligence and devotion, as
well as love. He saw at home what the
work of a minister was, and by the visits of
other clergymen, learned from their conver-
sation what their lives and trials were. He
grew up an active, generous, courageous boy,
sometimes given to mischievousness, but
never to any but of a harmless nature. He
was the best wrestler on the village green,
and was always the champion of the weak." '

Those who have known Mr. Button
in the days of his youth and maiahood
can well understand that his childhood
must have been overflowing with life.
He was never characterized by what
Shakespeare calls a " modest stillness
and humility." There was in him a
large exuberance of animal feeling, and

' Funeral Sermon.

he must have impressed almost every
one who ever met him, that the sum
total of what we call life was greater
in him than in most persons. Hence
we can easily believe all that he him-
self used to tell, and all that others
have told, of the jjoundless activity and
sports of his childhood. In the circle
of his brothers and sisters there was
no lack of stir and excitement when he
was ijresent. Among the children of
his own age in the town he was a dis-
tinct personality. Whoever else might
be forgotten in after years, he was not
likely to fade away from the recollec-
tion of any of his early companions.
A bright scholar, quick to learn, and
obedient in the school-room, he had
the liveliest appreciation of those great
outside interests, — running, wrestling,
jumping, swimming, hunting, etc., etc.,
— which in the eyes of boys are of
such vast importance. Ambitious of
standing well with his teachers as a
scholar, he was equally ambitious of
holding the first place in all these
athletic sports and exercises. A boy
like this, with such a superabundance
of life, is in his early years a far
greater source' of care and anxiety to
parents, than one of a more quiet and
retiring disposition. But if these ener-
gies can be shaped and regulated, can
be brought under the control of fixed
moral principle, they are in themselves
a treasure to be coveted. They bear a
man easily and triumphantly over diffi-
culties at which he might otherwise
stand appalled. This boy found in his
home the needed tempering and control-
ling influence. There was a mother,
gentle and firm, of rare intelligence,
quiet in her deportment, but fixed in her
principles, who knew how wisely to
mold and shape the forming characters
of her children. A humble and sincere
piety was mingled with all her disci-
pline, and formed indeed the most es-
sential element in it. In the training
of her household she was a most wor-

thy helpmeet of her hnsband, and in-
deed the chief burden of this responsi-
bility fell, as is common, npon her.

An incident is related of this early
period of his life which is not only in-
teresting in itself, as illustrating the
wide-awake and stirring character of
the boy, but which, as it afterward
proved, was a kind of foreshadowing
of his future life. His father and
mother, having a desire to visit their
kindred in Watertown, and not feeling
easy to leave their little flock behind,
decided to take the children with them.
Having made the needed provision, the
whole family set out for Watertown, a
distance of some forty miles from
Guilford. The first stage of the jour-
ney brought them to ISTew Haven, and
while they were resting there, the in-
terval was employed in visiting the new
meeting-house of the North Church,
which had just been completed, and
which in those times was regarded
somewhat as an architectural wonder.
Once inside the building, the children
scattered in various directions. Some
of them went into the gallery. The
father and mother were quietly taking
in the tout ensemble of the wonderful
structure, when suddenly a piping voice
was heard from the pulpit. Samuel
had mounted the desk, and drawing his
inspiration from Webster's Spelling
Book, into the mysteries of which he
had just begun to be initiated, proceed-
ed to orate as follows : —

" No man may put off the law of God."

And so, at this early age, he preached
his first sermon from the very desk
which he afterwards occupied, as a
Christian minister, for twenty-eight
years.

In a minister's family of that day,
and especially one of so much character
and prominence as that of Rev. Mr.
Dutton, of Guilford, there was a large
opportunity for a quick-minded boy to
pick up ideas, and to obtain knowledge

of what was going forward in the
world. It was a home of free and
generous ho^iitality, and strangers
came and went, day after day, leaving
the memory of their anecdotes and
conversation behind them. Here Dr.
Abel McEwen, of 'New London, was
often a visitor, and especially when on
his journeys to New Haven to attend
the meetings of the Yale Corporation,
of which he was made a member in
1826, Eev. Mr. Dutton having been
elected to the same trust in 1825. They
were acquaintances in college, Mr.
Dutton graduating in 1803 and Mr.
McEwen in 1804. Dr. McEwen's con-
versational and anecdotical powers
were something wonderful. No one
ever heard him talk an hour, when his
mii)d was unbent and free, without
holding the experience in memory long
afterwards. His acquaintance with
public men in Church and State was
large and intimate, and his talk not
only contributed to the amusement of
young and old, but it largely increased
their stock of valuable information.
The visits of Dr. McEwen to this Guil-
ford home were always welcomed by
the children, and remembered with joy
afterwards. We instance this case in
particular, because we have so often
heard reference made to it among those
who were then the children of this
household.

It seemed to be marked out and set-
tled, in the i:)lans of this family, that all
the sons should receive a collegiate ed-
iication. Three of them afterwards
graduated, and of the other two, one
died during his college course, and one
ivhile prei^aring for college. The
daughters also were thoroughly in-
structed, while the eldest received such
an education that she was able to assist
in the preparation of her brothers for
college, as she has since assisted in the
intellectual, moral, and religious train-
ing of many young ladies" now widely
scattered through the land, the orna-

meats of many a household. From his
earl}^ years, therefore, Samuel was set
upon his course of study. He was
fitted for college by his father and
sister, and entered Yale in the summer
of 1829, at the age of fifteen years.

We will not linger upon the details
of his college life, except to say that in
the winter of 1831, 2, when the Spirit
of God was poured out so largely upon
the colleges and congregations of the
land, he was, numbered among the con-
verts . to Christ at Yale College, and
soon after made profession of his faith
in his father's church at Guilford.
Could a catalogue be made of all min-
isters and missionaries who date their
conversion from the great revival of
1831, 2, we should gain some concep-
tion of what resources God stores up
for his church on earth in one of these
great outpourings of the Spirit. They
are like the free and copious rains that
fall upon a land long jDarched and dry»
They are refreshing and joy-giving
even while they are passing. " The
little hills rejoice on every side, — the
pastures are clothed with flocks." But
these rains drop also " upon the pas-
tures of the wilderness." They are
poured out full and free on the rough
hills and lofty mountain ranges. They
feed the deep and hidden springs.
They lose themselves for a time in
their silent and unseen progress. But
their effects are seen long afterwards,
when the rain itself is forgotten, in the
full inland lake, and the freely flowing
river. Such a rain of righteousness,
we may believe, is on the land this very
year. " Thou visitest the earth and
waterest it, thou greatly enrichest it
with the river of God, which is full of
water," and we can not doubt that God
is again laying up resources for the
toils and triumphs of his church in
the years of the future.

Mr. Dutton graduated with distinc-
tion, in due course, in 1819. His class
numbered at graduation eighty-seven,

and he was among the youngest mem-
bers. After leaving college, he was
engaged for a year in teaching in Bal-
timore, when he was elected principal
of the Hopkins Grammar School in
iSTew Haven. We have heard one who
was then a pupil in the Hopkins School
relate the impression made upon
himself and the other boys when the
new principal first made his appear-
ance. Y^'oung, florid, rotund and hand-
some, playful in his every look and
action, not having yet reached his own
majority, the boys measured the new
teacher and speculated upon him, and
could not exactly make out, at first,
what manner of man he was. But
they soon learned to love him and obey
him, though he went freely into their
out-door games and sports. Soon after
he entered upon these duties, in a
faculty meeting at Yale, one of the
professors, with an ominous shake of
the head, related what he had heard, —
that the new principal of the Hopkins
School had so let down his dignity as
to place himself on the door-steps of
the school building, and challenge all
the boys by their united eflbrts to pull
him off. " Well," said Professor Silli-
man, " did they do it ? " It was con-
fessed that they did not. " I'll venture
him, then," was the reply. In 1836 he
was elected tutor in the college, and
though greatly beloved by the classes
that came under his instruction, his free
and easy manner about the college
buildings often shocked some of his
more circumsiiect associates. It was
quite as much in his way to jump over
a fence as to go through a gate. There
was a bounding health and vigor about
him — a joyousness of spirit that foimd
relief in many unusual ways. He
seemed to have no dignity to nurse
and take care of. The class which
graduated in 1840 came more imder his
direction and tuition than any other,
and the members of that class have al-»
ways retained a living affection for him.

134

Samuel W. S. Datton.

[April,

In these years, while principal of the
Hopkins School and tutor in the col-
lege, he was pursuing his theological
studies in the Seminary. At that time
Dr. Taylor was in the full vigor of his
strength, and those who have never
known him except by hearsay, can
hardly conceive what that strength
was. There was a magnetic power
about the man such as few teachers
ever 'possessed. His whole soul was
alive with the great themes pertaining
to Man and Redemption. In the full-
ness of his heart he seemed often to
have uttered Milton's great prayer :

" What in me is dark,
Illumine ; what is low, raise and support,
That to the hight of this great argument
I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justify the ways of God to men."

Through all his life, Mr. Button was
ever ready freely to confess that he
was more indebted to Dr. Taylor for
his intellectual culture, and for his
conceptions of truth, than to any other
man. In his theological studies he was
patient and severe, and it has often
been remarked that no man ever com-
prehended Dr. Taylor's system of dog-
matic theology more perfectly and en-
tirely than he. Dr. Bacon, in his fu-
neral sermon, said, " Of Dr. Taylor's
pupils none received his system of
teaching with more exactness than this
one." And though in after life he
thought he saw occasion in one or two
points, and especially in matters ijex'-
taining to the doctrine of self-love, to
modify his opinions, the great and es-
sential features of the theological sys-
tem which he then and there received
he held not only with pertinacity, but
with a loving confidence and joy.

In the year 1838 he received and
accepted a call from the North Church
in Kew Haven to become their pastor,
and he was ordained for the work of
the gospel ministry, June 5th, 1838.
This was the church over which Dr.
Jonathan Edwards, junior, that illus-

trious son of a still more illustrious
father, had been jjastor from 1769 to
1795. Mr. Dutton entered upon his
ministry here under hapi^y auspices.
Only twenty-four years of age, radiant
with health and hope, with a peoi)le
cordially united in him as their pastor,
with a strong and able congregation
intellectually and financially, in the
city, which of all other places he loved,
life opened before him with the most
inviting prospects.

On the 12th of September following
his ordination, he was united in mar-
riage to Miss Harriet Waters, daughter
of Asa Waters, Esq., of Millbury,
Mass. The wise man has said, that
" a prudent wife is from the Lord,"
and thousands who have known Mrs.
Dutton in her hospitable home in I^ew
Haven, will gladly bear testimony, that
the young pastor was most wisely and
divinely guided in the choice of a com-
panion. He might have searched long
and far before he would have found
another more eminently fitted to grace
and dignify the station to which she
was called. Eor not only did she pos-
sess in a high degree the gentler graces
and excellences, — feminine taste and
ease and delicacy, — not only was she
conscientiously exact in all matters of
right and wrong, but she had also that
rare intellectual power and grasp, by
which she pierced through the exter-
nals of a subject to the substance of
it. There was no lack of topics for
conversation in her presence, and
though she had her share of interest
in the current events of the day, and
in all the goings on of society about
her, it was ever easy for her to turn
aside into the calmer realms of scholar-
ship and philosophy, and discourse of
books and systems of thought. She
was herself a thinker^ and she delighted
to hold converse with real thinkers.
She had the magnetic faculty to
awaken in those with whom she was
conversing their best powers, eliciting

1866.]

135

from them thoughts of which they had
hardly before been conscious. A man
of real intellect and of fine conversa-
tional powers is sometimes caught
alongside of a person with whom he
feels bound to talk. But every at-
tempt which is made in this line only
diminishes his own self-respect. All
that he ever knew seems to vanish far
away. His intellectual horizon little
by little contracts, and he finally comes
to the conclusion, that whatever may
be true of the other person, he himself
is essentially a fool. On the other
hand put this same individual to con-
verse with a person possessing this
awakening power, and he is surprised
at himself. His thoughts come forth
as by magic. Ideas which before were
only in embryo, crude and half-formed,
leap up instantly into shape and sym-
metry. The ideal faculty is at work,
and the conversation gives him a pos-
itive sense of enlargement.

This faculty, Mrs. Dutton possessed in
a high degree, and many a hard ques-
tion in philosophy or theology has had
light shed upon it, in conversation with
her. She was not only, therefore, a help-
meet, in the common acceptation of
that word, but she lent a real stim-
ulus to the intellectual work in which
her husband was engaged. It went on
more energetically, more systemati-
cal!};, because of her presence and in-
fluence. After her death, which oc-
curred on the Sabbath, July 3d, 1864,
her husband, in a discourse to his
own people, could say of her : —

" I need not tell you that her counsel, and
her silent influence, more powerful than
spoken counsel, always moved me toward
what is right and good — to integrity, to
Christian industry, to prayerfulness, to hu-
manity, to self-denying benevolence, to pious
fidelity . . . Indeed, if I had a difficult sub-
ject to think out, thei-e was no one to whom
I had access from wliose conversation I could
receive so much aid as from her. In the
power of insight into moral and religious

truth, and the power to discern its bearings
on life and conduct, I have for. years, rever-
ently regarded her as my superior. I thank
God for her helpfulness to me in my ministry
for twenty-six years."

At her funeral, Rev. S. G. Bucking-
ham, of Springfield, her pastor at Mill-
bury at the time of her marriage, said
in his address: —

" Of her life and influence here, where for
twenty-five years she has walked before you
in all the commandments and ordinances of
the Lord blameless ; where you have been
daily witnesses to her conscientiousness and
fidelity to every duty ; her humility before God,
and kindness to every human creature ; to
her discretion and prudence ; to her prayer-
fulness and heavenly-mindedness ; to her
helpfulness to her husband in all the duties of
his sacred office ; to her unwavering attach-
ment to you, and untiring devotion to your
welfare, — no stranger can tell you, as you
know it for yourselves."

And on the same occasion, Dr. Ba-
con, who had known her well through
all these years, gave the following as
his testimony: —

" For these five and twenty years she has
been his most intimate and constant adviser.
His habits of thought have been modified by
hers. Her feminine tact and intuition have
aided his judgment. He has seen through
her eyes as well as through his own. Her
loving criticism has encouraged and guided
his public labors. The books which he has
studied, the questions of doctrine or of duty
which he has considered, the movements of
Christian enterprise in which he has had a
part, have interested hex-, and without her in-
fluence, his entire activity and influence in
the ministry would have diftered from what it
has been."

"VYe have dwelt the more at length
uj)on this point, because here was an
element at work in Mr. Button's pri-
vate and i^ublic life, which no one, ac-
quainted with this household, can neg-
lect or leave out of the account.

Our narrative has brought Mr. Dut-
ton forward to his entrance upon the
public work of his profession, and we

136

Samuel W. S. Dutton.

[April,

wish now to present some of the lead-
ing features of his ministry.

As a preacher, he was characterized
by plainness, directness, and simplicity.
As has been already intimated, he com-
prehended the scheme of Christian
doctrine which he preached, with great
clearness. He had studied it carefully
in every department. He knew all the
parts and balances of the system, and
was not likely to say in one sermon
what would be contradicted in the
next. "We may use here, respecting
himself, the very language which he
employed in his noble tribute to Dr.
Taylor, published in the "Congrega-
tional Quarterly " for July, 1860. " He
so represented the divine and the 'human
side of religion as to make them har-
monize — as to render theology con-
sistent with itself, and with all known
truth. While he freely admitted that
in so profound and comprehensive a
subject as theology, the science of God
and his government, there are myste-
ries, or things above and beyond our
understanding; he abhorred and scout-
ed the idea that there are in theology
contradictions and absurdities, — things
which we see and know to be contra-
dictory or absurd."

In the seven hundred and more writ-
ten sermons which he has left behind
him, though they will be found to difter
greatly in ability in the amount of
thought and care bestowed upon them,
and in that element of happy concep-
tion with which every man who uses
his mind is more or less familiar, still,
they will all bear the marks of clear-
ness and simplicity. They are the
work of a man who never wrote at
hap-hazard, or with mental confusion
as to the kind of truth which he wished
to teach. He stood upon the revealed
word of God as a firm and everlasting
foundation. The plan of redemption
through the atonement of Jesus Christ
might be to many, as it was of old, " a
stumbling-block" and "foolishness;"

but to him it was ever " the power of
God, and the wisdom of God," and he
preached it in its fullness, whether men
would hear or forbear. As Dr. Bacon
testified in his funeral discourse, " he
has faithfully preached the gospel of
Jesus Christ, — the old gospel, the pure
gospel, the simjole gospel, the gospel
which the apostles preached. Your
consciences bear witness for him this
day that he has gone to his account
free from your blood and the blood of
all men."

In the year 1855, he was appointed
to preach the Concio ad Clerum at the
Yale College commencement. The
subject was not of his own choosing,
but was given him, according to usage,
by the General Association of Connect-
icut. It was, "The Kelatiou of the
Atonement to Holiness." If, however,
he had been left free to select a theme
for himself, he could not have chosen
one more in harmony with his own
wishes. In that sermon, he gave all
the prominence that could be asked for
to the human side of Christ. He
brought out with unusual fullness the
life of Christ on earth his perfect
obedience to the divine law, as an essen-
tial part of his work for the redemption
of a lost world; while he never for a
moment lost sight of that mysterious
work of atonement by which Christ
" magnified the law and made it honor-
able." In the closing jDassages, he
thus gives expression to his sense of
the grandeur of this atoning work : —

" Oh, this wondrous work, God in human
nature giving himself a sacrifice to redeem
a world of sinners and enemies, surpasses
all other works of God, in its influence to
move and sanctify souls, because it surpasses
all others as a revelation of God ; because it
brings him more fully to the minds and hearts
of men, — shows forth more fully than any-
thing else the glory of God, the glory of
his wisdom, his justice, his love. Glorious
indeed is God in all his works and ways ;
glorious as seen in the firmament which ho
hath arched above us and studded with count-

1866.]

less and resplendent worlds ; glorious, as
seen in the bright earth, with its fruitful sea-
sons, its scenes of sublime power, and its or-
dinances of beauty and gladness ; glorious as
seen in his universal government, with its be-
neficent law ; but, oh, far more glorious, as
seen in the cross of Christ. There is a full-
ness of wisdom and love nowhere else seen.
There is the clear and safe solution of the
problem, into which the eyes of earnest an-
gels could not before penetrate, the problem
of salvation for a world of sinners. There
is the blended luster of infinite justice and
infinite mercy, the blessed union of a just
Judge and a merciful Redeemer, with one
hand upholding the eternal law and throne,
the palladium of universal welfare, and with
the other raising a world of condemned sin-
ners to pardon and life."

And in this connection we may prop-
erly refer to what was much in his
thoughts during the closing months of
his life. The position taken by Dr.
Bushnell, on the subject of the atone-
ment, in one of the sermons of the vol-
ume published some two years since,
" Christ and His Salvation," as also in
his recent work, " The Vicarious Sac-
rifice," pained him exceedingly, and he
could not speak of it, but with evident
emotion. Strong as his love and ad-
miration for Dr. Bushnell had been, —
stoutly as he had stood as his cham-
pion 3'ears ago, when his case was be-
fore the General Association of the
State, he could not but feel that Dr.
Bushnell was dropping out some of the
grand and essential features of this
great central doctrine of the gospel;
and no claims of private friendship and
love could have weight with him as
against the claims of what he held to
be sacred and revealed truth. At the
time of the appearing of the volume of
sermons, he uttered himself briefly on
this topic, and at the time of his death,
he had just been carefully studying the
recently published volume, and was on
the point of beginning to write an ar-
ticle for the " New Englander." This
9 *

volume with all its side-marks and
points to be noticed, was, after his
death, j^assed into the hands of anoth-
er, who is abundantly competent to do
justice to the subject.

Another most striking characteristic
of Mr. Dutton, in his work of the min-
istry, was his whole-souled generosity
and humanity. He was ever receiving
calls from those who were in trouble.
They went to him because he would
patiently hear their story and try to
help them out of their difficulties.
People living in New Haven, and
strangers coming thither from afar, —
the poor, the widoAv, and the fatherless,
dwelling within the gates, — or the
black man, in transit, fleeing from the
oppressor, — alike sought his door for
counsel and assistance. He gave good
advice, and he gave good money. He
was sometimes imposed upon by a
" stranger in distress ; " and stingy
souls, who always guard their pocket-
books, and are not caught in giving
away money after this manner, nor
after any other manner, may have had
some laughs at his expense, and may
have congratulated themselves on their
own superior prudence and discern-
ment. Doubtless, if a man is so cau-
tious that he will never go near the
water, he will not be likely to be
drowned. If he is too niggardly to
keep a fire, he will not probably fall
into it and be burned. But Mr. Dut-
ton's philosophy about these matters
was altogether of another kind. He
opened his heart, and he opened his
purse, whenever the cry of distress
reached his ear. On the Sunday fol-
lowing Mr. Dutton's death. Rev. Wra.
B. Clarke, of the College ChajDcl, occu-
pied the pulpit of the Xorth Church
in the morning, and led the bereaved
people in their sorrowful worship.
One of the most touching passages in
his sermon had reference to this trait
of character of which we have just
been speaking. Said the preacher: —

Samuel W. S. Duilon.

[April,

" Oh ! that the poor had their friend back
ajrain. God will raise them up friends. He
will not forget his own. But this is the man
whom, in his day, He did raise up to be their
helper. There is many a one living in this
town who would witness this. There is many
a wanderer among men who found one door
where he was not turned away. And if that
dusky race of freemen — thank God ! — who
see in every northern man~ a deliverer, knew
how eminent a one among their friends had
now passed away in this man, there would be
hundreds of prayers offered in their chapels
to-day, which would be good for us to hear.
My friends, all along, when I was trying to
prove the good estate of our departed friend,
as one among those redeemed from death by
the risen Lord, I was vexed that it did not
seem as real as I would have it. It was too
good, too great, to believe. But now I seem
indeed to believe, whilst I hear that voice in
the heavens saying, ' Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these, my
brethren, ye have done it unto me.' "

Very early in his ministry lie took
an open and declared anti-slavery po-
sition. In this he was not hindered
by his wife, who had been decided in
her anti-slavery views even before her
marriage. It was not an easy position
to take, at that time, and in that place;
and nothing but his love of right and
liberty, and his hatred of oppression
conld have induced him to take it.
But he took it and he held it, through
evil report and through good report,
till the day of triumph and deliverance.
And when that day came, his soul was
lifted up with a great joy, and like
Miriam, the prophetess of old, he
could exult and say, " Sing ye to the
Lord, for he hath triumphed glorious-
ly! " We are well aware that there is
a company of jDcople among us who
indulge the fond delusion that the
whole land has been supplied with
anti-slavery principles from their little
storehouse, — that all was one wide
waste of pro-slavery sentiment, until
their work began. In the early part
of the present century, the people

of the North had reason to suppose
that slavery was to be gradually re-
moved by the action of the Southern
States themselves. Even so late as
the year 1818, the Presbyterian church,
largely located at the South, gave to
the world its great declaration on this
subject, which if not all that could be
desired, certainly gave promise that
slavery would be removed at no dis-
tant day. But when the reaction came
on, and the men of the South began to
take on airs, and talk about the "di-
vine right " of the system, there were
men scattered over all the North, who,
without conference or consultation,
found themselves anti-slavery to the
heart's core. They had derived their
l^rinciples, not from Boston, but from
the everlasting fountains of truth and
righteousness. In all those years, on
from 1825, there were to be found in
Yale College many young men who,
ih the face of a large multitude of
fiery Southern students, uniformly took
the anti-slavery side in every argu-
ment. We well remember a delicate
boy, coming from one of the wealthiest
families of New York city, who in all
debates, public and i:)rivate, in Yale
College, more than thirty years ago,
was never ashamed to be known as an
open abolitionist. We mention his
case, because of the style of life from
which he came. But numerous young
men from the country, whose love of
freedom had been nursed among their
native hills, never bowed their knee
to the image of Baal. When Mr.
Dutton planted himself upon anti-
slavery principles, it was not because
an Anti-Slavery Society existed some-
where, but because he loved God and
truth and liberty. All honor to the
men, anywhere, who have stood firm
throiigh these long years of conflict,
but let no mutual admiration society
take the whole glory to itself

Closely allied to his large humanity,
was the catholicity of his character, —

the absence of anytlaing like bigotry.
He loved good men of every name,
find met them with open hand and
genial cordiality. As Professor Clark
said, in the sermon from which we have
already quoted, " His cheerful face
commended him first of all. It was
good to see him, — his eye brightened
so for you, and he was so full of good
cheer. Would that there were more
who went about the world carrying
smiles and brightness ! Shall we not
seek to cultivate this good gift from
above, — this most excellent Christian
trait, — to the honor of God, and his
message of good tidings ? " His house
in New Haven was a home of most
unbounded hospitality, and there are
thousands scattered through the land,
and through other lands, who remem-
ber the genial hours which they have
passed there. Mr. D.'s fund of anec-
dotes and pertinent instances was of
remarkable compass. His native Guil-
ford and the inhabitants thereof as
they were seen in the daj' s of his child-
hood and youth, were largely drawn
upon to illustrate many points in morals
and religion. His early friend and
companion, Rev. John O. Colton, once
playfully proposed to compile a book
out of these Guilford memorabilia.

More and more he was becoming a
public man. He was a promjDt, ready,
and able debater, and had a quick eye
for the business of a public assembly.
In the National Council in Boston, last
June, he bore a conspicuous part, and
only a short time before his death, he
shared in the deliberations of the Amer-
ican Missionary Association, at its
meeting in Brooklyn, and was highly
complimented, in the public prints," for
the ability displayed in council and
discussion. He has been for several
years a corporate member of the
American Board, but stayed at home
from the annual meeting last fall, that
he might not fail to deposit his vote
in favor of negro sufFrage in the State

of Connecticut. Some ten years since
the degree of D. D. was conferred upon
him by Brown University.

The " New Englandcr " was started
in New Haven, January, 1843, and
almost every volume of it, from that
time to this, contains articles from his
pen. ' If we have made the count
aright, he has contributed forty-six ar-
ticles to this Quarterly, making an aver-
age of two each year. No writer for
this periodical, except Dr. Bacon, has
furnished an equal amount of material.

There are other features of Mr. But-
ton's public and private character, upon
which it would be pleasant to dwell, —
his energy and faithfulness in all his pas-
toral work, — his thoughtful kindness
in calling upon the aged and sick, — his
winning way with inquirers who came
to converse with him u^^on the subject of
their souls' salvation, — his large charity,
making it impossible for him to retain
a grudge or feeling of ill-will toward
any person. It was not so much that
he sought by principle to overcome
such feelings, as that his nature cast
them out as an incumbrance. There
was no room for them in his soul, and
they were forgotten and left behind, as
things that had not been. We might
dwell upon the success of his j)ublic
labors, — the large accessions made to
the church during his ministry, — but
we are compelled to forbear.

On Monday morning, Jan. 22d, Mr.
Dutton left his home for Millbury,
Mass., the native place of his wife, and
where he hoj^ed soon to be united
again in marriage to one of her kin-
dred. He had been suffering with a
severe cold for a fortnight previous,
but was better, and occupied his pulpit
the day before. He himself, however,
had noticed and remarked that this
cold had been attended by diflerent
symptoms from those observed in
former attacks, for he had been sub-
ject for years to these violent visita-
tions, which in his plaj'ful way he used

to call tornadoes. He was really very
weak, and unlit to make the journey.
He retired to rest on Monday night
as usual, but during the night was
chilly and restless. The next morning
a physician was called, who pro-
nounced the disease i)neumonia, of a
decided character. He sufiered little
pain, and did not seem to himself to
be very sick. He thought it was like
previous attacks, from which he should
soon find relief. The disease, however,
progressed with great rapidity. Other
physicians, from the neighboring city
of "Worcester, eminent in their profes-
sion, were called in, but the disease
was not checked. Some thirty-six
hours before his death he passed into
a state of heavy lethargy, from which
he was aroused only with difficulty.
When awaked he was rational, but
soon sunk again into this oppressive
slumber. His sister and adopted sou
were sent for, and reached Millbury
on Friday morning. He knew them,
and kept his mind awake for a brief
interview with them. When told of
his danger he said, " I know you think
I am a very sick man, but I can only
trust in Christ." He was reminded
that his beloved wife would be waiting
for him on the other side of the river.
" Yes," said he, " and we will wait for
you all." When asked if he had any
message to send to his church, he re-
plied with unusual earnestness, " Tell
them to be faithful to the end — to the
end — the end." And so he fell asleep
Friday afternoon, Jan. 26th.

On Saturday afternoon, his remains
were borne back to the city which he
loved, and to his weeping flock. A
large delegation from his church re-
ceived the body at the depot, at eight
o'clock in the evening, and followed it

in sad procession to his hoiise. The
funeral was deferred until the follow-
ing Wednesday, to give opportunity
to distant relatives, and especially to
his brother at Cincinnati, to reach the
place. On Wednesday, after brief re-
ligious services at the house, conducted
by Kev. Mr. Eustis, the body was con-
veyed to the vestibule of the church
at eleven o'clock, to give opportunity
to multitudes in the city to take a last
look at their departed friend. The
public funeral was at two o'clock. The
house was filled to its utmost capacity.
The preliminary services were assigned
to Eev. Dr. Cleaveland, but he was
already suffering from that illness
which has since proved fatal, and was
obliged to decline. His i^lace was
filled by Rev. Mr. Eustis. Dr. Bacon
gave a funeral discourse of great
beauty and power, which held the large
audience in solemn stillness, and drew
tears from many eyes. A simple and
tender prayer was ofiered by President
Woolsey, and the beloved pastor was
borne away from the church, where for
twenty-eight years he had ministered
the consolations of the gospel, to his
last resting-place. After the body had
been lowered into the grave, Professor
Fisher spoke a few comforting words,
and dismissed the mourning concourse.
Through all these scenes, everything
was done on the part of the church
and congregation, which could be done,
to testify their strong aftectiou, their
sincere and unaflected love for their
pastor, so suddenly and mysteriously
snatched from them. Nor was this
feeling confined to his own flock. The
whole city was moved, and thousands
desired to bear testimony to their sense
of his real worth, and their own great
loss.

Agamenticus^ Georg-iana, or York, Maine.

141

AGAMENTICUS, GEORGIAN A, OR YORK, MAINE-

BY REV. RUFUS M. SAWYER, YORK, MAINE.

It is not quite certain when civilized
men first pitched their tents at Aga-
menticus.^ Dr. Belknap in his biograph-
ical sketches (p. 377) fixes the first
settlement as early as 1623. William-
son, in his History of Maine (p. 304),
says, "Kittery was settled 1623, and
Georgiana or Agamenticus, 1624." Ed-
ward Godfrey, once provincial gov-
ernor of Maine, affirmed that he was
" an inhabitant of Agamenticus in 1629
and 30," and the "first that built
there." A permanent settlement there
was effected before 1630; probably as
early as 1624.

Those engaged in it were sent out
by Sir Ferdinando Gorges, and came
prepared to clear away the forests,
procure lumber, build mills and ships,
and cultivate the ground. As ship-
carpenters and mill-wrights, they had
the tools of their trades; as agricultur-
alists, their oxen and implements of
husbandry.^ They built their cabins
at the mouth of what was called Aga-
menticus river, and on its eastern
bank, near the ocean; where they
found a safe harbor and good anchor-
age. A fertile valley, partly intervale,
from one to two miles wide, extending
along the banks of a navigable stream
for six or seven miles, and heavily
wooded with pine and oak, invited
their attention and oftered to reward
their industry. And Gorges, their pat-
ron, was of an ancient family, and had
great influence with Charles I. then on
the throne of England. Defeated in
his attempts to get control of all the
New England colonies and make him-

self their governor-general, and op-
posed to the Puritans, he obtained from
the king a charter of what was called
the "Province of Maine," intending to
found a state which would rival Mas-
sachusetts. Her charter, covering a ter-
ritory extending from the Piscataqua
to the Kennebec, and some hundred
miles inland, "contained," it is said,
" more extensive powers and privileges,
than were ever granted by the crown
to any other individual." Clothed with
such authority and enjoying the royal
patronage, he made Agamenticus the
object of his special favors. Intending
to make her the seat of his govern-
ment in Maine, he gave her, April
10th, 1641, the inivileges of an incor-
IDorated town.^

Her territory extended three miles
each way from the " church chapel or
oratory" of the plantation; and her in-
habitants had power to elect a mayor
and eight aldermen yearly; and they
were authorized to hold courts, erect for-
tifications, and do many other things.
After exciting the envy of her less fa-
vored sisters, Piscataqua and Saco, for
more than ten months, she was crown-
ed with additional honors; for Sir Fer-
dinando conferred upon her, March 1,
1642, a city charter.* And that she
might perpetuate his fame and share
his glory, he fondly gave her the name
of Georgiana; and he enlarged her
area, so that she embraced in her lim-
its twenty-one square miles. The At-
lantic washed her eastern border for
three miles; and the silent and beauti-
ful Agamenticus, her south-western
border for about seven miles. Her offi-

cers were a mayor,^ tAvelve aldermen,
twenty-four coiincillors, and a record-
er. She was to enjoy in general the
rights and jDrivileges of the city of
Bristol, England.

Bancroft, speaking of her, says :
" Agamenticus, though in truth but
a poor village, soon became a char-
tered borough." Keferring to her illus-
trious founder, he says, " Like another
Romulus, the veteran soldier resolved
to perpetuate his name, and, under the
name of Georgiana, the land round
York became as good a city, as seals
and parchment, a nominal mayor and
aldermen, a chancerv court and court-
leet, sergeants and white rods, can
make of a town of less than three
hundred inhabitants, and its petty ofli-
cers."

"This embryo city," and the early
settlements generally of Maine, were
under the direction of Episcopalians.
And Gorges was instructed, by the
court of England, to establish the
Episcopal form of worship throughout
his province.*^ Thus Georgiana was to
be the seat of ecclesiastical power, as
well as civil; and the residence of the
bishop, and other Ej^iscopal dignitaries.
But whether she was ever blessed
with a settled minister of that order
is quite uncertain. Doubtless she en-
joyed Episcopal worship, for she had a
" church chapel or oratory," as we hear
from her first charter. And we hear
of several ministers of the same faith
in the province of Maine at that time.

1 The first mayor was Thomas Gorges. The
cellar of his residence is still visible near Gorges'
point. He went to England in 1643.

2 " Our will and pleasure, is, that the religion
now professed in the Church of England, and
Ecclesiastical government now used in the
same, shall be ever hereafter professed, and
with as much convenient speed as may be set-
tled and established in and throughout the
province." From the Charter of Gorges
found in Haz. Coll. p. 442-445, and Sulli-
van's App. p. 397-408,

One Robert Jordan^ of Casco, con-
ducted Ejiiscopal worship in different
places for nearly thirty years. Eev.
Richard Gibson,* a scholarly man, and
popular preacher, labored also at
Casco, Portsmouth, and Isles of Shoals,
for six or seven years — beginning
1637.* He probably visited Georgiana
frequently; for at Portsmouth, he was
only eight miles distant, and at the
Isles of Shoals, but nine; and he at-
tempted to make the Islanders revolt
from Massachusetts, and come under
Gorges' government. Other Episcopal
clergymen preached at times in the
early settlements of Maine, Conse-
quently that form of worship must
have been frequently, if not statedly
observed at Georgiana, the principal
seat of power,

tan ministers in this proud httle city,

he " came as a preacher before 1641, probably
having deacon's or priest's orders. Married
Sarah, daughter of John Winter, the great
teacher of all that coast, and slid easily into
civil life, but was not cautious enough to con-
ciliate the Massachusetts chief men, who im-
prisoned him in 1654, but in 1658 he was sworn
a freeman. His estate was on the Spurwinit,
now Scarborough." Removed to Portsmouth in
1675; died there, in 1679, in his 68th year, and
left a will providing for widow, and children,
John, Robert, Dominicus, Jedediah, Samuel,
and Jeremiah.

^ " One Richard Gibson, a scholar, sent some
three or four years since (perhaps in April,
1637) to Riehman's Island, to be a minister to
a fishing plantation there, belonging to one Mr.
Trelawney, of Plymouth, in England. He re-
moved from thence to Pascataquach, and this
year, 1642, was entertained by the fishermen at
the Isle of Shoals to preach to them. Wholly
addicted to the hierarchy and discipline of
England." Savage's Wiuthrop, ii. 66. Savage
adds " No just ground of complaint, I suppose,
appeared against Gibson." But after trouble
with the Massachusetts authorities, he returned

or among the good people of Agamen-

orable mention is made of Eev. Mr.
Thompson, a "pious and learned"
minister who came to this country,
1637, and was afterward installed first
pastor of the church in Quincy, then
Braintree. He did good service, it is
supposed, at Agamenticus.^ But the
wily, corrupt George Burdett made his
appearance as a clergyman after Mr.
Thompson left. He turned up in Sa-
lem, 1634, and, under the pretense that
he had been persecuted by a bishop
in England, gained admission to the
church in Salem. He soon left for
Dover, i^. H. But the friends of vir-
tue and order, learning what his char-
acter was, pursued him. He fled to
Agamenticus, where he was secure
from their power, and there he did
much mischief, and filled up the meas-
ure of his iniquity. Indicted, con-
victed of breaches of the jDcace, adul-
tery, and slanderous speeches, he was
fined, and soon left for England, " de-
nouncing vengeance against his judg-
es."* A Mr. Hall, an excommuni-

11. Burdett had had trouble in England, as ap-
pears in Bloomfield's History of Norfolk county,
England. After much trouble, ecclesiastical, in
Yarmouth, the king had given permission to
the corporation of that place to nominate their
own "lecturer," they paying his stipend; that
is, the corporation was to present to the lords
of the council two or more names, one of which
the council was to select. Mr. Burdett was ap-
pointed, at a salary of £100 per year. The

cated minister, who labored also at the
Isles of Shoals followed him, and " was

times he was to preach, his duty to " assist the
curate," &c., are all given iij document by
Bloomfield. For the final determination of the
difference lately agitated between the town and
the dean and chapter of Nonvich, Matthew
Brooks, minister, and George Burdett, lecturer,
" of great Yarmouth aforesaid," appeared before
the Bishop of Norwich, March 19, 1633, and
agreed to a division of labor, &c. In July fol-
lowing, Mr. Brooks cited Mr. Burdett before
the Chancellor of Norwich, for not bowing at
the name of Jesus. The latter defended him-
self by asserting that he did bow, and was
ready to do so; but he was suspended. A
month later, the suspension was removed on the
intercession of the bailiffs. But in April, 1635,
Mr. Burdett, having been again suspended by
the high commission court, left soon precipi-
tately, and went to New England, leaving be-
hind him a distressed wife and family, to
whose support the corporation generously al-
lowed an annuity of twenty marks.

Coming to Salem, he was admitted freeman
September 2, 1635, and being " an able schv;lar,
and of plausible parts and carriage" (Hub-
bard), was employed to preach to the church
there, of which he was received a member.
Finding the discipline of the church too strict
for his loose conscience, he went to Dover, N.
H. probably in 1637, where he continued for
some time in good esteem ; preached there for
awhile, then succeeded in removing from au-
thority, Mr. Thomas Wiggans, who had been
placed there by the English proprietors, and be-
came governor. In 1638, Captain John Under-
bill served Burdett in the same manner.

Burdett wrote to Archbishop Laud, late in
1638, in vigorous terms against the Massachu-
setts government, that it " was not discipline
that was now so much aimed at as sovereignty ; "
and asking that the disorders he redressed.
Early in 1639, the Archbishop replied, thank-
ing him for his care of His Majesty's interests,
&c. Both lettfers, or their contents, came into
the hands of the governor at Boston. (See
Winthrop's Journal.) " Being detected in some
loose actions " (Belknap), he hastily removed
to Agamenticus, as above. In the trials there,
his cattle were seized for payment- of fines.
There is a record of a suit regarding these
cattle, at Exeter, N. II. He appealed to the
king, but his appeal was not allowed, and he
left for England, full of enmity. Arriving
there, in the commencement of the revolution
of 1640, he joined the royalist forces, was

entertained " hj the jicople of Georgi-
ana.' Other ministers who could not
find i^rotection in Massachusetts and
New Hampsliire, doubtless visited the
place ; for all the settlements in Maine,
were oj)en to the incursions of " wolves
in sheep's clothing," who led the i)eo-
ple awaj' from the fold of Christ.

In the light of such facts it is not
difflcult to see what the moral and re-
ligious condition of Georgiana and the
Province of Maine, in general, must
have been in those times. There were,
probably, a few faithful Episcojial cler-
gymen, who did their jiart to promote
good morals, and correct religious
views. And here and there a Puri-
tan minister, like Mr. Thompson, scat-
tered seeds of truth which took root,
and blossomed into pietj^ and virtue.
The most of the communities, though,
planted as they were, largely by ad-
venturers in pursuit of a fortune, vis-
ited by outlaws from Europe, Massa-
chusetts and Kew Hampshire, must
have been moral and religious deserts,
with now and then a clear fountain and
fruitful vine.

But the civil authorities did much to
restrain vice and crime, and something
to encourage religion and morality.
The charter under which they acted
required them to establish religious
worship. And in their zeal, they " or-
dered all parents in the western country
to bring their unbaptized children to
that ordinance." ^

was put in prison, which is the lijst we hear of
him.

iThis was probably Benjamin Hull, a min-
ister at Weymouth, Massachusetts, in 1635; of
Beverly soon after, of York as above, and of
Oyster river (now Durham), N. H. in 1659-61.
He had a son born in York, and his daughter
Elizabeth married John Heard, of Dover. Cot-
ton Mather (Magnalia) calls him "a I'evered
minister." So says Savage; but there is con-
fusion somewhere between Benjamin and
Joseph. Joseph was of the Isles of Shoals.

Severe laws stood on their statute-
books, frowning upon various immor-
alities. And the guilty were made to
feel their force in some instances; for
one of the persons implicated in Bur-

of John) — was compelled to stand two
Sabbaths in the congregation, and one
day in general court, arrayed in a white

two shillings for two oaths ; a drunkard
one shilling for a fit of intoxication;
and another individual was whipped by

away from his master. Several per-
sons were fined for slander. The fine

courts, gives us some insight into the severity
of the times. It is as follows : " The humble
petition of R. Cutts and T. Cutting sheweth, —
That contrary to an order of court, which says
no woman shall live on the Isles of Shoals, John
Reynolds has brought his wife hither, with an
intention to live here and abide. He also hath
brought upon Hog Island a great stock of goats
and swine, which by destroying much fish do
great damage, . . . and also spoil the spring of
water on that island. . . . Your petitioners pray,
therefore, that the act of court may be put in
execution for the removal of all women inhab-
iting there; that said Reynolds may be ordered
to remove his goats and swine from the islands
without delay." The court ordered Reynolds to
remove his goats and swine from the islands
within twenty days. But as to the " removal of
his wife," the court decided, "If no further
complaint come against her she may enjoy the
company of her husband." Williamson,!. 304;

in the -paths of bad men, restraining
them and protecting every paradise of
innocence and virtue. They guarded
life and property, secured a degree of
order and peace, and were ahnost the
only eflfective barriers to vice and
crime.

A change passed over the Province
of Maine at this period of its history.
Civil war broke out in England, and
Gorges, though past the prime of life,
girded on his armor and gave the
strength of his declining years to the
support of the "unfortunate Charles
the First." At the siege of Bristol with
Prince Kupert, he was taken prisoner
when the city surrendered to Crom-
well's forces, and was thrown into con-
finement. His possessions in Maine
were divided and fell into the hands of
different parties. Rumors of his death
spread among the peoj)ie. They wrote
to him; but receiving no answer, they
jjroceeded to elect a governor and
councilors under his charter. They
wrote again, and, after waiting a year,
learned that he was dead ; but received
no instructions about their civil aflairs.
Left to themselves, they soon called a
pojDular qonvention at Georgiana.' Af-
ter discussing their rights, duties, and
difficulties, the inhabitants of Kittery,
Georgiana, Wells, and probably Isles of
Shoals, " with free unanimous consent,
formed themselves into a body politic
for the purposes of self-government."
A confederacy was established. Other
forms of government existed farther
East. One, a ^'■proprietary" extending
to the Kennebec. Beyond the Kenne-
bec, another, "mostly conservative."
Beyond the Penobscot still another, al-
together " military." These ships of
state launched about the same time,
with no bond of union, presenting dif-
ferent claims, sailing across each oth-
er's track, frequently ran into each
other. And the regulations on board

each were such that the officers and
men did not know either their places
or duties. Insubordination and mis-
rule prevailed, and the sea of politics
became boisterous. There was great
danger that these ships of state would
all be either foundered or wrecked.
And the red men, fired with revenge,
thirsting for blood, and eager for plun-
der, were watching their opportunity.
Both, impending dangers and Gorges'
death, cast a dark shadow over the
province.

Many of the people saw that order,
security, and prosperity existed in Mas-
sachusetts and in l^ew Hampshire, then
connected with the former state. They
sought a union with Massachusetts.
Their request was readily granted.
" The great charter of the Bay Compa-
ny was unrolled before the general
court in Boston," and so interpreted as
to give Massachusetts full claim to all
the territory embraced in Gorges'
charter. Commissioners were soon on
their way to reorganize the govern-
ment of Maine. In the mean time, Ed-
ward Godfrey, his associates in office,
and a imrt of the people, appealed to
the Court of England, protesting
against the doings of Massachusetts.
But Charles I. had lost his throne, and
Cromwell, a friend to the Puiitans, was
in iDower. They consequently found
but little favor. They appealed to the
people of the colonies, but a majority
favored union with Massachusetts.*

Kittery, Georgiana, Wells, Cape Por-
poise, Saco, and, in due time, other
towns, yielded, without serious opposi-
tion, to the authority of Massachusetts,
and her institutions, laws, and ecclesi-
astical polity, gradually gained perma-
nent footing in Maine.

Thus Georgiana, twenty years be-
fore there was a wharf at Boston, and
after a career of ten years, lost her

place among the cities of America. She
never became, as her founder doubtless
intended, the " mistress of the seas " in
the Western hemisphere, or the capital
of a more powerful government than
that of Massachusetts. And her aspir-
mg inhabitants were under the neces-
sity of taking the humble name of
York, and reposing in safet}^ for nearly
two centuries under the shadow of the
old Commonwealth.
. " The religious liberty of the Epis-'
copalians was left unharmed, and the
privileges of citizenship were extended
to all inhabitants." * They were not
burdened with taxes excejjt for county
and town purj)oses. But the j^rovince
continued to be the battle-field of op-
jiosing i^olitical and religious theories.
And unprincipled itinerant preachers,
taking advantage of the large hberty
enjoyed by the peojDle, embittered the
strife by apjpealing to the prejudices of
combatants. The general court of
Massachusetts finally required all
preachers to secure the aj^probation of
four neighboring churches. And as
most i^laces were destitute of the stated
means of grace, every town was re-
quired to make provision for the sup-
port of a pious minister.'

And the cause of education, hitherto
neglected in Maine, received the atten-
tion of Massachusetts. She made it
the duty of every town, containing fif-
ty householders, to employ a teacher
sufficient time to teach the children to
read and write. And she required ev-
ery town of one hundred families to
provide a grammar-school, in which
young persons could be fitted for col-
lege. And town officers were directed
to have children catechised, and see that
they " had some trade, or were fitted
for some useful calling." ^

1 Williamson, i. 356.

2 " In 1675, the selectmen of Kittery, Cape
Porpoise, Scarborough, and Falmouth were
presented by the grand jury in several indict-
ments, for not taking care that the children and

" Many humane provisions were es-
tablished by legislative authority,"
These provisions oflered timely relief
to the unfortunate stranger, and ex-
tended the hand of charity to the poor
generally. They stood between the
honest debtor, and his oppressive cred-
itors, securing to him his rights and
liberty. They forbade cruelty to ani-
mals, and protected the poor Indian in
the quiet possession of his " planting-
grounds and fishing-berths."

Strict laws also guarded morals.
They frowned upon idlers,' " tobacco-
takers," drunkards, gamblers, profane
swearers, bearers of false news, slan-
derers, extortioners, fornicators; and
threatened with death, murderers, rob-
bers, burglars, traitors, blasphemers,
adulterers, and other criminals. They
imposed strict regulations upon public
houses, and " expressly prohibited "
the various games and sports calcu-
lated to corrupt the young.

Thus did Massachusetts shield the
morals of the rising generation, manifest
a.tender regard for the poor and defense-
less, and open to all the fountains of in-
telligence, virtue, and religion. Talent
and genius, when associated with moral
worth, were crowned with honors,
however humble their origin; for the
avenues to greatness and distinction
were closed to none. Though she had
her faults, no other commonwealth at
that period did so much to encourage
general intelligence, protect innocence
and virtue, and establish correct relig-
ious and moral principles among the
people. York did not sufler at her
hand. Still her right to govern in
Maine was often called in question.
Repeated ettbrts were made by the

youth of their towns be taught their catechisms,
and educated according to law." Williamson,
i. 383.

^As late as 1674, one Charles Potum, "was
presented to the grand jury, at York, for living
an idle, lazy life, without any settled employ-
ment." Williamson, i. 381 4.

heirs of Gorges to recover their k)st
possessions. And they were success-
ful for a time; but the people petition-
ed the court of England to be permit-
ted to live under the government of
Massachusetts, and their request was
fiuallj' granted; though Charles II. was
in power, and the Episcopalians enjoyed
the royal patronage.^ Puritan views,
laws, and customs had gained too
strong a hold upon the peoj^le to be
easily shaken off. A simple form of
worship, free schools, and what would
now be called severe, even cruel laws,
were their choice.

About ten years after Massachusetts
extended her protection over Maine,
Mr. Shubael Dummer commenced his
labors in Yoi-k as a minister of the
gospel. He was a young man, having
graduated at Harvard, six years pre-
vious, at the age of twenty. Some
ten years after he came to York, Dec.
13, 1672, he was ordained, and preach-
ed his own sermon from the passage,
" Eeturn, O Lord, and visit this vine."
The first prayer was by the Rev. Mr.
Moody, of Portsmouth, and the charge
by Rev. Mr. PhiUps, of Rowley." The
whole period of his ministry in York
was thirty years, commencing 1662,
closing 1692.

But how little there could have been
to encourage him in his field of labor !
The first settlers of the town were ad-
venturers, and it had been an asylum
for excommunicated and itinerant min-
isters, agitated by civil commotions,
and never enjoyed for any great length
of time regular preaching. As far as
we can learn, everything was at loose
ends, except what was restrained by
civil law; and Cotton Mather informs
us, that Mr. Dummer " spent very much
of his own patrimony to subsist among

the people." But Mr. Dummer was a
devoted man, and well furnished for
his work, and doubtless, led not a few
to Christ. Said Cotton Mather after
his death, —

"Our Dummer, the minister of
York, was one of whom, for his exem-
jjlary holiness, humbleness, modesty, in-
dustry, and fidelity, the world was not
worthy. He was a gentleman well de-
scended, well tempered, and well edu-
cated. . . . He might have taken for the
coat of arms, the same that the holy
martyr Hooper did prophetically, — a
lamb in a flaming bush, with rays from
heaven shining on it." Such a man
would not fail to make converts and
build up a church. As early as 1672,
he organized the first church in York,
now the oldest church in the state.
Its members were his spiritual chil-
dren. How numerous they became dur-
ing his ministry we have no means of
ascertaining.^ We have reason to sup-
pose that much love, joy, and peace,
circulated in the veins of society in
York, as the result of his labors; for
Cotton Mather says, " Though solicited
with many temi^tations to leave his
place, when the clouds grew thick
and dark in the Indian hostilities, and
was like to break upon it, he chose,
rather, with a paternal affection to stay
amongst those who had been so many
of them converted and edified by his
ministry.''^

But his field of labor, already blos-
soming with piety and virtue, and
orderlj^ and peaceful, was suddenly
thrown into confusion and laid waste,
and many of his little flock, either
butchered or carried into captivity.
One winter morning, in 1692, at the
season of the year when the people
felt there was no danger of an attack,
the Indians, led by Catholic French-
men (the bitter enemies of the Puri-

tans), and coming stealthily on snow-
shoes, surprised them, while around
their firesides, breakfast tables, or
family altars, before the more public
duties of the day commenced, killed
from fifty to seventy-five of them, and
took about one hundred more, prison-
ers. The few who fled to the garrison-
ed houses, or were stationed in them,
were summoned to surrender; but
they replied, that they would "first
shed the last drop of their blood."
Their bravery saved them. After de-
stroying the dAvelling-houses on the east
side of the river, and the provisions of
the people, the Indians beat a hasty re-
treat into the woods, fearing pursuit by
the inhabitants of Piscataqua.

Hardship, suffering, and, in many in-
stances, death, awaited their jjoor cap-
tives. Cruel treatment they received
at the hands of their savage foes, ere,
half-starved, shivering with cold, they
wended their weary, forlorn way
through the snows of mid-winter to
the " kennels " of their captors in the
wilderness. The first Sabbath after
they started on their sad journe}^, an
unfeeling red man, dressed in the
clothes stripped from the dead body of
their pastor, paraded himself before
them, with mock dignity, and in deris-
ion of a Puritan minister, — "a devil
as an angel of light."

Mrs. Dummer, who was one of the
captives, overcome by fatigue and ex-
posure, heart-broken with sorrow, soon
entered the dark valley to find her hus-
band on the other side, where the
" wicked cease from troubling, and
the weary are at rest." He had taken
his golden harp but a few days, when
she joined him and took hers.

He was shot as he was about to start
on horseback to make pastoral visits.
His friends, who escaped by being in
the garrisoned houses, or on the west
side of the rivei*,* found him near his

own door, naked and in his blood, with
his face to the ground. Where "his
cold remains in solitude sleep the years
away," we are not permitted to know,
for no stone, so far as I can learn, marks
the place of their " last retreat." But

" These remains, this little dust,
Our Father's care shall keep,
Till the last angel rise and break
The long and dreary sleep."

I find the following lines dedicated
to his memory, by his friend Cotton
Mather'': —

" Dummer, the shepherd, sacrificed
By wolves, because the sheep he prized ;
The orphan's father, church's light.
The love of heaven, of hell the spight ;
The countrie's gapman, and the face
That shone, but knew it not, with grace.
Hunted by devils, but relieved
By angels, and on high received.
The martyred pelican, who bled.
Rather than leave his charge unfed.
A proper bird of paradise.
Shot, and flown thither in a trice.

wounds.
Ascending still against the savage hounds
That worry thy dear flock, and let the cry
Add force to theirs that at thine altar lye."

By the kindness of Mr. Sibley, libra-
rian of Harvard, I am able to add the
following facts about Mr. Dummer: —

" Shubael Dummer, son of Richard
Dummer, was born at Newbury, Mass.,
Feb. 17, 1636. His father came from
England, in 1632, and settled at Rox-
bury. ... Of his mother, Mrs. Mary
Dummer, we find the following in the
Roxbury church records, in the hand-
writing of the apostle Eliot: ' She Avas
a godly woman ; but, by the seductions
of some of her acquaintances, she was
led away into the new opinions in Mrs.
Hutchinson's time, and her husband re-
moving to Newbury, she there openly
declared herself, and did also seduce

turn to Boston.' " ^

" The son of these parents (Shubael
Dummer) enjoyed the best advantages
which the country afforded for receiv-
ing an education. From his earhest
years he was brought xii^ under the
ministry of one of the most eminent
scholars and Christians among the fa-
thers of New England (Eev. Thomas
Parker, of ^Newbury), and very proba-
bly was his pupil, and fitted by him for
admission to college. At the age of

twenty he received his first degree (at
Harvard), and at the age of twenty-
four became a preacher, and was ad-
mitted a freeman of Massachusetts
Colony." (American Quarterly Regis-
ter, X. 241, 242.)

He preached in Salisbury ^ probably
two years before he settled in York.
The church there voted to secure his
services. (Mass. Rec. vol. iv. part 1,

ter of Edward Eishworth.

THE LOGIC OF CONGREGATIONALISM.

BY EEV. JOSEPH TRACY, D. D., BEVERLY, MASS.

Messes. Editors: Your notice of
my friend Puuchard's History of Con-
gregationalism incites me to offer you
a thought on this subject, which I have
entertained for many years, though I
have never seen it in print.

Mr. Punchard shows that there have
been churches having that form of gov-
ei'nment and no other, from the earliest
ages. This is right, and true, and con-
clusive ; but it is more than sound logic
permits our opponents to demand of
us.

We say that a company of believers,
residing in the same vicinity, associated
and statedly meeting for Christian or-
dinances, worship, and instruction, is a
Church of Christ. The covenant by
which they are associated may or may

1 Richard Dummer, the father of Shubael,
was born about 1599, at Bishopstoke, Hants,
England; second son of John. He came over
in the Whale from Southampton, arriving May
26, 1632; settled at Roxbury, moved to Boston,
then to Newbury ; was Assistant in 1635 and
'36; favored Wheelwright and was disarmed,
1637; sent home; came back in 1638 in the

not be written. It may be a mere un-
derstanding, by which they rely on
each other as Christian brethren, act-
ing together for these purposes. This
is all that is necessary to the mere be-
ing of a church. Its well-being requires
also officers for spiritual and temporal
aftairs : that is, elders and deacons.
Wherever these are found, there is a
church, according to our definition, — a
Congregational church.

As a man, unrighteously deprived of
his liberty and made a slave, does not
cease to be a man, so a church, unright-
eously subjected to a hierarchj-, does
not cease to be a church; and as, when
many slaves are chained together in a
"cofiie" for more easy government,
each enslaved man is still a man, so
when many churches are coflied to-
gether for the same purpose, each is
still a church. Nor does it alter the
case, if the enslaved men, or churches,

eral Court, the "old toune" having consented,
that the former be not charged for church sup-
port at the latter, the latter being " in hand
with Mr. Subaell Dumer." The Court, 31
May, 1660, judge that Mr. Dummer " may be

Tlie Logic of Congregationalism.

[April,

do not know their rights, iDut submit to
their enslavement willingly, believing
that snch a course is the best that they
can pursue.

It is an old ecclesiastical maxim,
that we are to receive as true, as a
part of Christianity, what has been re-
ceived always, everyxDhere, and hy all
Christians: " quod semper, quod ubique,
quod ah omnibus." And, if rightly ap-
plied, the maxim is as true as it is old.
Congregationalism stands this test. It
has been practised always, everywhere,
and by all Christians. Always, every-
where, and among all, Christians have
met statedly, for religious jmrposes,
and by mutual understanding among
themselves, constituting congregations
of believers; and, as a general rule,
have had the two kinds of officers nec-
essary for the " well-being " of a church,
— one kind to teach and administer or-
dinances, and another to care for tem-
poralities.

That there have been such congrega-
tions wherever Christianity has pre-
vailed, no one, probably, will deny.
Indeed, it is diflScult, if not impossible^
to conceive how Christianity, as a liv-
ing, practical system, can exist without
them.

And this is all that, in absolute strict-
ness of logic, we are bound to prove.
We need not show that these churches,
or any of them, have always enjoyed
their freedom. It is enough for us to
show that they have always existed.
They may have been enslaved, and
made to accept their slavery without
questioning. Still, they have existed.
There have been congregations of be-
lievers, who did not " forsake the as-
sembling of themselves together " for
worship and instruction, wherever and
whene\'er there has been a living Chris-
tianity. And congregations of believ-
ers, so assembling, are, according to
Scripture and our doctrine, Congrega-
tional churches.

And here, in strictness of logic, the

burden of proof ceases to rest on us.
It is for those who claim authority over
the churches, to prove the rightfulness
of their claim, either by the express
words of Scripture, or necessary infer-
ence from them, or by the universal
jn-actice of Christians. If they fail to
do this, as they must, then Congrega-
tional churches may rightfully disre-
gard their claims and assume the free
management of their own afiairs.

And this shows the true logical form
of our fellowshij) with Christians of
other names. We do not, for example,
acknowledge the body that calls itself
" The Protestant Episcopal Church of
the United States " as a church of
Christ, or as a church at all. We re-
gard it as a body containing many
churches of Christ, and apparently,
some congregations which, for want of
Christian piety, can not be recognized
as churches of Christ. We recognize
each congregation of believers in that
body as a sister church, with whom we
have fellowship spiritually, and with
whom we are ready to exchange acts
of visible fellowship.

It is indeed well to show that Con-
gregational churches, understanding
and exercising, more or less perfectly,
their just liberties, have always exist-
ed. But, logicallj^ it is enough to show
that whatever is essential to the being
of a Congregational church is enjoined
in Scripture, and has had, and still has,
universal prevalence; so that if forms
that have been only local, partial, tera-
poi'ary, should be laid aside, Congrega-
tional churches, and such only, would
remain.

The same can not be said of any oth-
er form of church organization. Other
forms, by the mere fact of their exist-
ence, disprove each other's claim to
universality.

It would be easy to enlarge on this
subject; but I attempt, for the present,
only a hint for thinkers. J. T.

ORDINATION WITHOUT INSTALLATION.

BY REV. DAA'ID BURT, WINONA, MINN.

Ecclesiastical usages often take
form in the mold of circumstances.
The history of the various church poli-
ties reveals the fact that principles have
been stretched, bent, compressed, and
suited to the civil and social condition
of Christianity, while its friends have
not been sufficiently careful to inquire
into the scripturalness of what they
sanction. An ecclesiastical error once
incorporated into the usages of a church
is corrected with great difficulty. The
prestige of antiquity and the " Fathers "
is urged in its defense, and there are
some men whose veneration for the
acts of their denomination in its primi-
tive times almost exceeds their rever-
ence for the Acts of the Apostles.

These remarks find an illustration in
some of the modern standards and ex-
positions of Congregationalism con-
cerning a certain agency for the diffii-
sion of the gospel which was potent
in the days of Paul, and might be ren-
dered highly efficient at the present
time of opened doors, wide and eftect-
xial. I mean the agency established by
apostolic usage for the diftusion of the
gospel where churches prepared to re-
ceive and sustain a settled ministry can
not be secured without some years of
patient effort. The term missionary
having been used in modern times prin-
cipally to denote one sent far hence to
the heathen, — this word, even when
quahfied by the word liome, does not
fully designate the agency in question.
The nature of the work to be accom-
plished in wide regions of our own
country where there are no nominal
heathen, — the slow and laborious pro-
cess by which self-supporting churches
are to be secured in many communi-
ties of our land, are better designated

by the term evangelization, and the
preacher undertaking this work by the
name evangelist.

These terms are certainly scriptural.
It is admitted on all hands that in apos-
tolic times there was an order of evan-
gelists in the Christian ministry, to
which belonged Philip, the evangelist,
Timothy, whom Paul exhorted to do
the work of an evangelist, Titus, who
actually performed the same work, and
many others. Yet the assumption has
been made by some, that such persons
do not constitute a permanent order in
the Christian ministry; that we should
restrict ordination, except in case of
those sent on some definite missionary
work, to those who are installed pas-
tors of the churches effecting their or-
dination.

: Before endeavoring to establish the
point that the office of evangelists was
designed to be permanent, it may be
well to inquire, if so, why has the fact
been almost overlooked in the Congre-
gational church polity as developed in
our own country?

Among the influences contributing
to this result, are these :

1. The predominantly religious char-
acter of the people in New Englajid
during its early history.

The ecclesiastical usages of that age
were very much affected by the fact
that the mass of the people, if not Chris-
tians, were, from principle, the support-
ers of Christian institutions.

A church was deemed an indispensa-
ble organization in every colony and
community large enough for its exist-
ence. Hence the ministerial work of
that time was not to set agencies in
operation for the conversion of the peo-
ple to a belief in the importance of

152

Christian cliurches, to form them for
church membersliip, and for the duty
of receiving and supporting j)reachers
of the gospel. They ah-eady had either
piety or principle for these works, and
the only practical question was to sup-
ply such churches as sprung up out of
the convictions of the jDcople with a
settled ministry. This required only
the order of the ministry designated as
bishops or elders, and the main ques-
tion was, how shall these be constituted
and settled?

Had our wide West, with its teem-
ing population, regardless of churches,
inditterent to the gospel and its minis-
tei's, been before the minds of the
Mathers, and Cotton, and Davenport,
they would have written some things
concerning the Kew Testament agency
for evangelizing these regions, which,
under their circumstances, never oc-
curred to them. The qiiestion in their
time was how to take care of church-
loving communities, and give them an
able and a permanent ministry. The
details of this work they set in order
according to the mind of Christ; but
we are not to infer that they have set
forth the whole N"ew Testament scheme
for the projiagation of the gosjoel
through the agency of Christian minis-
ters. Bonaparte developed the laws
of warfare for large armies working in
countries well supplied with munitions
of war; yet something more has lately
been said about the management of
military expeditions against an unset-
tled race on our frontiers ; and we shall
yet learn that the science of war can
find ways to meet such a foe, of which
even the genius of Napoleon never
spoke.

In the religious conquest of the "West
and South, we shall find that there are
evangelizing agencies contemplated in
the j^ew Testament which the condi-
tion of the New England fathers did
not require them to use. To quote
them as authorities, beyond the letter

of which we must not go, is like relying
on the rules for the management of
heavy artillery in a campaign against
flying guerrillas.

2. Another cause of imperfect views
respecting the office of evangelists, is :
An illogical inference from the prin-
ciple strenuously held by the Puritans,
that it is the prerogative of the local
church to ordain its own minister.

This is certainly a doctrine of the
New Testament; but does it follow
from it that no ministers are to be or-
dained, unless, at the time, they are
wanted by some already existing
church, as settled ministers?

This seems to be the inference of
some. They quote the fathers of Con-
gregationalism to prove that we should
not ordain candidates for the ministry
until they are elected by some church
to the pastoral olfice. The argument
is, that it was the custom of those fa-
thers to ordain only under such circum-
stances, therefore we should not tran-
scend their usage. But who can prove
that, under our circumstances, with the
unchristianized population of the West
and South before them, they would not
have ordained all the Philips and Tim-
othys to be found, and sent them out
in the name of the churches, to raise up
new churches, and to be to them as pas-
tors, without the nominal existence of
the pastoral relation, until such times
as it could be wisely constituted? The
argument that because our fathers or-
dained only those who were to fill the
jjastorates of local churches, we should
ordain no others, is precisely like the
reasoning by which some would discard
the i^ractice of infant baptism by quot-
ing the passage, "He that believeth
and is baptized," &c. We reply to
such, the passage respects only adults,
and is not meant to cut ofi" children.
And we may say, the doctrine of the
fathers, that ordination is an act by
which a local church supplies itself
with a pastor, is correct for churches

prepared to receive, settle, and support
pastors, but it has no reference to
churches in a state of infancy; none to
the process of begetting and bringing
churches into the kingdom of Christ.
We may assume, from the genius of the
gospel as a world-wide gift to men,
that it will include agencies for the
planting and training of churches un-
der the care of competent ministers,
possessing all the prerogatives of the
ministerial office, and exercising them
for the benefit of such young and fee-
ble churches, until they are prepared
to receive and support a settled minis-
try.

The remark, that the limited exi^eri-
ence of the early IN'ew England fathers
narrowed their views and statements
on this subject, may be applied without
any disrespect to some of the present
Kestors in the camp of Kew England
Congregationalism. They speak and
write with only their little region of
this great laud in their thoughts, — a
spot insignificantly small on a map of
the United States, — a tract of our coirn-
tiy which we could more than cover
could we overlay it with some single
one of the States west of the Missis-
sippi. Could we transport these good
men from their hill-girt homes to the
prairies of the West, wide and free as
the blue expanse above, — could Ave
give them a journey over the vast
spaces that stretch away under their
setting sun, — peopled with millions
who must be won to Christ, if at all,
by conquest ; they would return to
their little district east of the Hudson
with at least one new idea, and that
idea would be that if the IN'ew Testa-
ment does not provide and recognize
an order of men to be ordained to go
and plant churches in this immense
tract of country, — churches over which
they cannot be installed for years in
some instances, — then it ought to pro-
vide such an agency, and is imperfect
without it.

Another circumstance which has of
late brought the order of Evangelists
into distrust is :

3. Certain abuses of the office by men
not properly discharging its functions.

We find many references to these
abuses in the religious periodicals of
the last fiftj^ years. A writer in the
"Christian Spectator" for 1829 com-
plained that "Associations and occa-
sional councils, too, are ordaining a
great number of our licentiates, or, as
they have been significantly styled,
'candidates for the ministry of the
gospel,' not for the purpose of installing
them as pastors over churches, not as
missionaries foreign or domestic, not
for any specific work requiring the
services of an ordained minister, biit to ♦
seek employment " as revivalists or
preachers among our settled ministry.

This practice still exists. There are
men called evangelists in regions where
the kind of labor which they undertake
is of a doubtful character. But we
should not allow our distrust in such
men and their measures to prejudice
our judgment on the question before
us. We are not arguing for a class of
supernumeraries among settled minis-
ters. The office which we have recog-
nized is quite diflerent from that
assumed by reputed revivalists. The
order of N'ew Testament Evangelists
will not build on the foundations of
other men. They will not crowd into
the sphere of settled ministers, — they
find work in the regions beyond the
reach of such men.

I will allude to another circumstance
which has atfected our views on this
doctrine of evangelists :

4. In our arguments against the dif-
ferent clerical orders of the Episcopacy
we have sought to gain strength by
narrowing the issue to the proposition
that pastors are the only permanent
order of ministers recognized in the
ISTew Testament. We have feared to
admit that so far as their work is con-

154

Ordination vnthout Installation.

[April,

cerned there may be two orders in the
Christian ministry, lest we should be
driven to the admission that the official
authority of the two may also differ.
Hence we have shown that the twelve
apostles had no successors, because,
from the nature of the work to which
they were called, they could have none.
They were to be the witnesses of
Christ's life, teachings, death, and res-
urrection. Their testimony we receive,
and discard all pretended apostolic suc-
cessions. By many, it is attempted to
disijose of the I^ew Testament Evan-
gelists — and by this, I do not mean the
authors of the four gospels — in the same
way. They are dropped as a tempo-
rary class of laborers, needed at that
time, but not as a permanent order of
ministerial laborers. We have only
then to show that pastors, teachers,
overseers, and bishops are interchange-
able terms, denoting one and the same
office, and we carry our jjoint against
the advocates of the clerical ranks of
Episcopacy. But is it necessary to
success in this argument that we take
the ground that there is only one order
in the Christian ministry as respects its
office work ? May there not be more
than one order in this respect, while in
all matters of rights, authority, and
official standing, there is an essential
equality, while the functions of the
ministry are common to all ? Can we
not present a better front to Episco-
pacy by assuming this level and com-
mon ground that whether we are in-
stalled and settled, or, having been duly
ordained by churches which we have
left for the work, are preaching and
raising up churches not yet prepared
to " settle " us,— that we are all equal in
the prerogatives of the Christian min-
istry,— than we can present while some
who fancy themselves elevated on hills
and even mountains by installation,
look down upon their uninstalled breth-
ren, as on plains and in valleys, and
say to them, " you are hired by the

year as I hire my Irishman; you are
inevitably made weak and deprived of
great moral power. You are under
the influence of a system that degrades
you " ? Is it to be expected that men
even with considerable grace, who are
doing the work of evangelists in the
"West, can read grave discussions by
their installed brethren intended to
show that ministers who are not in-
stalled are inferior to themselves in
ministerial rank, if indeed they ought
to be called ministers, and not be
tempted to say, "come out of your
clerical corners into the wide field
where we j^reach, and we will show you
men who are hired by the year without
degradation, — uninstalled but not un-
stable,— and exerting a wider and
stronger moral power than many who
stand, withered and dry, where instal-
lation planted them years ago " ? But
we would not seem to speak with feel-
ing on this subject. We have only a
desire that the cause of Christ suffer
no detriment. Those doing the work
of evangelists Avould not be hindered
by the utterances of ministerial breth-
ren Miio might speak and think differ-
ently with a more extended knowledge
of facts and a wider experience.

But it is time to inquire what reasons
can be urged in favor of the view that
the order of preachers called evange-
lists in the epistles of the New Testa-
ment was designed to be permanent?
Is ordination without installation now
necessary for the work of planting and
raising up churches, not on heathen
ground merely, but in many wide
sections of our own civilized country?

The question arises, why not send
forth men with only a license to preach
and when they can organize a church,
let them be ordained by it, and installed
over it ? To one without experience in
such work this might seem wise. But
those who attempt this labor in
the newly settled parts of our country
find that it often requires several years

to raise up a church to such a condition
of strength that a minister could wisely
make it the object of his whole care.
It is necessary to have two, three, and
sometimes more, young churches under
the care of one preacher, who shall
divide his labors among them. It
would be inexpedient to ordain one
over several distinct churches, perhaps
in rival communities, and no one of
several siich churches may be so much
stronger than the rest as to make it
proper to ordain the preacher over it,
and if this thing were done it would
often disqualify him for exerting the
best possible influence in his whole
field. Churches in this condition need
the sacraments, and, as according to
custom, a licentiate could not adminis-
ter them, great embarrassment would
arise from the difliculty and often im-
possibility of effecting exchanges with
those who were ordained. Such church-
es need in their ministers all the func-
tions of the ministerial office — every-
thing that can enhance the personal
power and influence of the men who
are to take charge of them. They
should be competent for every minis-
terial function in order to influence the
community and give dignity to their
work. For these reasons men who are
only licensed to preach and are virtual-
ly deemed under probation for ordina-
tion are not the men for raising uj) uqw
churches. It is enough that the church
be an " experiment; " it is too much that
its preacher be an " exiieriraent " also.
He should be a man in whom some
church has already expressed the con-
fidence implied in ordination.

The following particulars are deemed
proof that the New Testament con-
templates the permanent existence of
an order of ministers, ordained without
installation, and possessing all the pre-
rogatives of the Christian ministry and
exercising them in the planting and
training of Christian churches, where
such churches must have an in-

fancy and time of growth, often very
slow.

1. The ofiice of evangelists is spoken
of as distinct from that of pastors and
teachers, prophets and apostles.

In Eph. iv. 11, Paul says, " and he
gave some apostles, and some prophets,
and some evangelists, and some pastors,
and teachers." From this passage we
learn that the office of evangelists is
distinct from the others mentioned, and
may co-exist with them — that it is a
gift of Christ to his church and is of
the same general nature and design as
the office of pastors. It is mentioned
as co-ordinate with this office, and, so
far as appears from the passage, of
equal importance.

2. The office of evangelists was given
to the church for the same end as that
of pastors. All the offices mentioned
are said to be alike given " for the per-
fecting of the saints, for the work of
the ministry, for the edifying of the
body of Christ." It is here declared
that the work of an evangelist is of the
same nature, in its eftects, as that of a
pastor. It is the work of the ministry
no less than a pastor's labor. It tends
to build up the body of Christ, which
is the church, and to fill out the char-
acter of the saints. Without good
reason, we are not to assert that an
office, of which such are the results,
was temporary, and has now ceased
to exist. It appears,

.8. That persons called evangelists,
and appointed to do the work of evan-
gelists, received the same instructions,
and discharged the same functions as
did pastors. In Acts xxi. 8, Paul says
" We entered into the house of Philip
the evangelist, which was one of the
seven " who some years before were
chosen deacons. Soon after Philip's
appointment as deacon, we are told,
in Acts viii. 5, that he went down to
the city of Samaria and preached un-
to them. He wrought miracles and
baptized beUevers (Acts viii. 38). In

[April,

his office-work as an evangelist he
seems in no respect to have been infe-
rior to other preachers of the time.
In 2 Tim. iv. 5, it is said to Timothy,
"Do the worli of an evangelist; make
full proof of thy ministry." What was
Timothy's public office- work? He was
not an apostle. In 2 Cor. i. 1, it reads,
"Paul, an apostle, and Timothy our
brother;" again. Col. i. 1, "Paul, an
apostle of Christ, and Timothy our
brother." If Paul had regarded Tim-
othy as an apostle, while calling him-
self one, he would not have been so
micourteous as to say that Timothy
was not one, but only a brother. Again,
Timothy was not bishop of Ephesus,
or settled pastor of the church there.
When Paul, according to Acts xx. 1,
went into Macedonia in the year 60,
he besought Timothy to abide at Ephe-
sus to regulate certain disorders in the
church at that place — " to charge some
that they teach no other doctrine.''
Addressing him at Ephesus in the 1st
Epistle to Timothy, he informs him
what qualifications should be possessed
by teachers, bishops, and deacons. He
tells him to " rebuke not an elder, but
entreat him as a lather; " to " lay hands
suddenly on no man ; " that is, to or-
dain no one for the church hastily.
These directions imply that the church
at Ephesus Avas to have officers who
were other persons than Timothy.
They were given Timothy as direc-
tions to aid him in securing proper
men for the offices in the church. But
further, the sojourn of Timothy at
Ephesus was not intended by Paul to
be 'permanent^ as it would have been
had he, in modern language, been set-
tled over the church. In the second
Epistle, probably written from Eome,
Paul says, " Do thy diligence to come
shortly unto me." " Do thy diligence
to come before winter." Hence it ap-
pears that Timothy, at the request of
the apostle, spent several years at
Ephesus on a special mission, from

which he was recalled when the work
was done. The general duties of this
work were indicated when Paul wrote,
" Do the work of an evangelist." This
work included acting for the church in
the ordination of officers, teaching and
exhorting and preaching the word as
did Philip the evangelist, but there is
no proof that Timothy, in the modern
sense, was ever installed over any
church. He labored not as a settled
l^astor, but as a stated supply, an
evangelist at and about Ephesus.

The work of Titus was similar. He
was not a permanent bishop or jiastor
in any church, but was left by Paul in
Crete to act for the churches in the or-
dination of their bishops or elders.
Paul did not intend that he should settle
there, for in chapter iii. 12, he says,
" when I shall send Artemas unto thee,
or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto
me to Nicopolis," — we find him ex-
pected at Troas, — on a mission to the
church at Corinth, — and on another to
Dalmatia.

He was never settled, but labored for
the churches wherever the providence
of Girod opened the way.

It is not essential to the arginnent
that we should be able to adduce a
score of instances like these, but oul}'
to mark the nature of the work per-
formed by these evangelists. As we
are not arguing with believers in Epis-
copacy, it is not necessary to prove
that they were not diocesan bishops,
that they did not ordain men by their
own authority. They performed the
ceremony of ordination for, and in the
name of, the churches, as did other
ministers. They jDreached, they bap-
tized, and, by parity of reason, admin-
istered the ordinances of the church,
and possessed the same prerogatives to
act for churches at their request in
matters now committed to councils, as
did bishops or elders. The angels of
the seven churches in Asia Minor could
not have performed more official acts

157

than did these men. They were not
surpassed in this respect by any mod-
ern pastor, even those who have been
settled from three to seven times. But
to prove beyond question that the order
of Xew Testament evangelists was not
merely a temporary measure for those
times, we have only to apply the old
principle, '■'■Batio manet, lex nianeV

4. The circumstances which rendered
it necessary to establish the order of
evangelists in the days of primitive
Christian churches still exist, even in
nominally Christian lands, and will
continue to exist until the millennium.

This is a sufficient answer to the as-
sertion that no provision is found in the
Scripti^res for the perpetuation of this
order of men. If this be so, which is
doubted, the reply is, the command to
continue the order exists in the still ex-
isting circumstances which at first led
to its institution. There is no direct
command to continue the order of dea-
cons in modern churches. If it be said
the qualifications of deacons are given,
thus implying the permanency of the
order, then the charge of Paul to the
evangelist Timothy gives the qualifica-
tions of the order, and implies its per-
manence. We infer that the diaconate
should continue, because the state of
things which led the Head of the church
to appoint it still continues. What
better reason than this do we need for
continuin
